  • Adjust account settings

  • Provide additional product information such as seasonality (Optional)

Workflow Overview

Inventory Planner demand forecasting will be used to produce purchase orders. Once saved, purchase orders will sync to Odoo. After the PO sync, all additional work will happen in Odoo including receiving, editing, or cancelling the purchase order. 

Product information, sales history, vendor information, and previously created purchase orders will all sync from Odoo to Inventory Planner on the first sync, then will be updated automatically every 24 hours.
