# Creating a Purchase Order - Video ►

We make it simple to track Orders for Inventory! Our software can automatically add Products and their Order Quantities to your Purchase Order based on their current On Hand value and set Target value.

**Creating a Purchase Order:**

**Proceed to: Manage** > **Inventory** > **Orders**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Click **New Order**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Choose the **Distributor**

Choose the Distributor in which you are ordering the Products from.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Determine the order type

Determine whether the order will be for **Retail** items only, **Professional** items only, or both **Retail & Professional** items.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Select Brands

Check the box to each **Brand** you want to include on this order. You have the option of selecting "All" at the top.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Include reserved product quantities

If you'd like, you can check the "Add the quantity of products reserved to the order quantity calculation" box. This will add extra Products for any future Product Reservations clients may have.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Click **Create Order**

## Save manual changes

If there are any Order Quantities manually changed, you'll need to click **Save** at the bottom before going forward.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Use additional Order functionalities

You will have additional functionalities at the top of the Order to manually add a Product in which is not already there, Print the Order, or Export the Order to an Excel Sheet.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.rosysalonsoftware.com/inventory/creating-a-purchase-order-video.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
