From development into production

Turn an approved style into an accountable order.

Purchase orders are a commercial commitment, not an isolated document. Lifecycle connects the PO to the product, supplier, cost, collection, and delivery workflow that led to the decision.

01

Confirm the buying context

Review the approved product, supplier, costs, variants, and quantities before raising the order.

02

Create the purchase order

Structure the products, quantities, commercial details, dates, and partner information required for the order.

03

Track production status

Keep PO progress visible alongside the collection calendar and owned production work.

04

Continue into delivery

Connect the order to shipment tracking so teams can follow the handoff from production commitment to movement of goods.

Approved data carried forward

Create POs fromcurrent product information

Use the approved product, variant, supplier, quantity, and cost context already held in Lifecycle as the basis for a purchase order.

This reduces repeated data entry and makes it easier to trace the order back to the commercial and product decisions behind it.
