Prepare customer orders before production work begins.
Poppelo supports the customer PO intake and order-entry stage for light manufacturers: reading incoming documents, resolving customer part numbers, and reviewing records for downstream delivery.
Capture the customer request
A customer may email a PDF or spreadsheet containing familiar parts and new quantities. Poppelo extracts the header and lines, uses customer vocabulary and catalogue references, and presents uncertain fields for review. The order desk checks the request before it becomes a downstream record.
Make the handoff explicit
Review quantities, product identity, and unsupported commercial terms with the source available. Approved orders can go to a supported destination record, such as a QuickBooks Online Estimate. Confirm connector setup and mappings against the systems used by the office team before relying on that handoff.
Keep production planning in the production system
Poppelo does not provide production planning, MRP, BOM management, or shop-floor capabilities. It does not schedule machines, explode bills of materials, or promise material availability. Use the appropriate manufacturing system for those decisions after customer order entry.
Questions about this workflow
Does Poppelo replace an MRP system?
No. Poppelo handles customer PO intake and order entry. Production planning, bills of materials, and shop-floor work remain outside this workflow.
