Import Purchase Order

Hand Pointless MCP a supplier's purchase order and it reads the items, quantities, and prices directly into a purchase order in Pointless POS — updating your inventory automatically once received.

What MCP Reads​

  • Item descriptions and vendor item numbers — matched against your existing catalog by UPC, name, or vendor SKU
  • Quantities and unit of measure — case, unit, or however the vendor lists it
  • Unit price and line totals — used to update your cost fields when items are received

How It Works​

  1. Start a new purchase order, or open an existing one, and provide MCP with the vendor's purchase order file (PDF, spreadsheet, or scanned document).
  2. MCP reads the item list, matching each line to a product in your catalog where possible.
  3. Items, quantities, and prices are loaded into the purchase order for you to review — similar to the CSV Import option, but without needing a specific file format.
  4. Confirm the imported items, then continue the normal purchase order workflow — receiving items, printing labels, and closing the order.

Items Not Found in Your Catalog​

If MCP can't confidently match a line item to an existing product, it flags the item for review rather than guessing. You can create a new catalog item from the flagged line or match it manually before continuing.
