Introduction
In the Bottleneck Manufacturing Portal, an Incoming Purchase Order represents a purchase order issued by a Brand Org through their own brand portal. It captures the customer's request, serving as a formal agreement and documentation of the requested items, quantities, pricing, and terms. Manufacturer Orgs can actively review, approve, and convert these purchase orders into Sales Orders for fulfillment. It is important to distinguish this from an outgoing purchase order where a Manufacturer Org purchases materials from a vendor.
