This article describes the settings under Supplier Purchase Order Export, which control the export of purchase orders to certain suppliers' ordering systems. Today the suppliers Stihl and Husqvarna are supported.
The export is handled by the local CRS agent on the POS: when a setting is enabled, the agent can write the purchase orders as CSV files to a folder on the POS, from which the supplier's ordering system retrieves them. The feature typically requires a subscription with the relevant supplier, and the supplier identifier is provided by the supplier. If in doubt, contact support before changing the settings.
1. Open the hamburger menu in the top-left corner of Sapera and select Financial.
