Stokkup supports the S&S API for electronically sending S&S Purchase Orders. This is a five-step process that will require a shop's purchasing staff to get into a rhythm of approvals that will greatly reduce the risk of mistakenly placing an order, ordering from the wrong warehouse, or even ordering the wrong quantity.

1. It all starts in the order module, where garments are added.

2. Next, the Sales rep must approve the order in order to convert it from an "estimate" to an "acknowledged" order. During the approval process, the user can also indicate that they'd like to use the S&S API for this particular set of PO's.

3. At this point, the S&S PO has been queued to be sent off to S&S for processing. In order to move along the approval process, the default warehouse must be approved or changed to a new one by the purchasing manager in the Warehouses page found in the Settings module.

4. Once the warehouse has been approved, the purchasing manager must give the final approval in the S&S Approvals page found in the Settings module.
