What is PO Automation?

Salesbuildr’s Order Automation feature converts approved proposals into purchase orders (POs) and post-sale tickets within Autotask. It automatically sends the purchase order to your distributor using their API, reducing errors and drastically improving procurement and order management efficiency.

PO Automation FAQs

Answers to some most common questions about our PO Automation.

What about the Sales Order in Autotask?
Salesbuildr will not create a sales order in Autotask. It creates a post-sale ticket with charges and a PO.
What if I want to cancel a PO?
For now, you will have to manually cancel the PO in the Ingram Micro portal and update the related PO in Autotask.
How do I receive items?
You can receive items in Autotask using the existing workflow you're used to.
How does Salesbuildr determine what products to add to the order?
Salesbuildr will look for products that have the Autotask "does not require procurement" flag turned off. If this is the case, Salesbuildr will assume the product will need to be procured.
What happens if the quote contains recurring services?
Because recurring services are always added to contracts, Salesbuildr will only add products from the approved quote to the post-sale ticket. You will have to manually add the recurring services to a new or existing contract.
What happens if I have to add the products to a Project?
At this time, Salesbuildr will only add products from the approved quote to the post-sale ticket. You will have to manually run the Won opportunity Wizard if you want to add products from the approved quote to a project.
What distributors will be supported?
We will launch Ingram Micro. Shortly after, we will add TD Synnex. Then KPN, Copaco, and ALSO will be added next. You will be able to manually manage the PO for distributors without an API connection.
