PO Sync
PO Sync (Purchase Order Sync) connects your Lightspeed Retail POS (X-Series) account with NuORDER and creates a two-way sync between the two systems. You can create and place purchase orders in either NuORDER or Lightspeed POS, and the purchase orders and product details, such as suppliers, sizes, colors, SKUs, pricing, and quantities, will automatically sync. This helps reduce manual data entry, minimize errors, and speed up the receiving process in your store. Read more about PO Sync rules.

Working Order
A Working Order is a draft purchase order in NuORDER that has not yet been submitted to the brand. It allows you to add products, adjust quantities, review pricing, and make changes before finalizing the order. Once you submit a Working Order, it becomes a placed purchase order and is sent to the brand for review and confirmation.
