Workflow overview
Inventory Planner's demand forecasting will be used to produce purchase orders. Once saved, those purchase orders will sync to ecomdash. After the sync, you will process those purchase orders in ecomdash, including receiving, editing, or cancelling the purchase orders.
Product information, sales history, vendor information, and previously created purchase orders will all sync from ecomdash to Inventory Planner on the first sync, then will be updated automatically every 24 hours.
