Amber drafts a purchase order straight from an awarded quote with costs and duties already attached, then reads your supplier's email to keep the order current without anyone re-typing a status.

Unit costs and estimated duties are already on every SKU when the draft opens.
Payment schedule matches your real terms with the factory, not a generic default.

“The second run needs three more days. First run is on schedule.”Porto Textiles · Supplier email
One purchase order fans into multiple production runs and allocations, each with its own dates.
Not per order. Shipments split and clear customs separately, and the duty math follows the goods.
Shipping status is calculated from what actually shipped, never from a field someone forgot to update.

Frequently asked questions
Can one purchase order become multiple shipments?
Yes. Orders split into production runs, allocations, and legs, each tracked with its own dates and duties.
Does someone have to manually update shipping status?
No. Status is computed from the shipments attached to the order, not typed in by hand.
What happens when a supplier sends a partial shipment?
It lands on the record from the email update. The exceptions inbox flags the quantity difference so you can accept it or act on it.
