Bottleneck Brand Portal: Streamlining Order Management
Advancing to a Sales Order Status
Upon the Brand's submission of their Purchase Order (PO) through the Bottleneck Brand Portal, the subsequent step for the Manufacturer involves reviewing and authorizing the order to transition it into a Sales Order status. A meticulous evaluation of attached details, encompassing requested line items, formulations, and pricing specifics, empowers Manufacturers to make a decision: either endorse the PO, converting it into a sales order, or decline the proposal.
Sending a Purchase Order through the Bottleneck Brand Portal

Managing Line Items on Your Purchase Order
Adding Inventory Items: Brands enjoy the flexibility to include desired inventory items, along with corresponding quantities and agreed-upon pricing. This comprehensive overview guarantees clarity regarding the requested items.
Approval Cycle: After composing the Purchase Order, Brands can trigger an approval cycle within the platform. This functionality streamlines collaborative decision-making by allowing all involved parties to review and confirm the order details.
Efficient Shipment Management
