The challenge

Creating multiple purchase orders can involve repetitive entry of structured order information.

Workflow

Make watches for new Google Sheets rows, looks up suppliers, variants, and purchase orders in Katana Cloud Inventory, then routes records to create a purchase order or add a purchase order row.

Key capabilities

  • Watch Google Sheets for new purchase-order data rows.
  • Look up suppliers, variants, and existing purchase orders in Katana Cloud Inventory.
  • Route records to create a purchase order or add a purchase order row.

Outcome

A structured spreadsheet-to-procurement flow can reduce repetitive entry when processing multiple orders and make the handoff from order data to purchase-order records easier to follow.
