Drafted in the background
A daily pass finds anything below its reorder point and Alan writes a draft PO to the preferred supplier.
Run the shop
Stock dips below the reorder point. The PO is already drafted.
Open any supplier on the canvas to see every PO in one place. When stock runs low, Alan drafts the next one so you just hit Issue.

The new way
How this works in the future of MRP.
Today you only catch a part is short when production stalls, then you open the PO module, build the order by hand, and post stock as a second step. In TuringDock Alan drafts the PO the day stock crosses the reorder point, right on the supplier node, and the receipt updates stock in the same transaction.
How it works
Issue, then receive (partial is fine)
Hit Issue and the supplier email is ready. Receive what arrives and stock posts in the same transaction.
Open one place, all the history
The supplier modal lists every PO you have cut to that vendor, with status badges, dates, and the receive flow.
Common questions
- Does TuringDock auto-draft purchase orders?
- Yes. When a component crosses its reorder point, Alan drafts the next PO at the forecast quantity, addressed to the preferred supplier at the latest price. You tap Issue and the email goes out with the PO PDF attached.
- Can I issue POs by email to suppliers who don't have a portal?
- Yes. The issue flow renders a branded PDF and emails it to the supplier contact on file, with the body drafted in your voice. The message logs to the supplier thread, so no portal is required.
- How does receiving partial shipments work?
- Open the PO, hit Receive, and enter the quantities that arrived. Stock posts in the same transaction and on-hand updates instantly across the canvas. You can receive against the same PO until it is fully received or cancelled.
- Does TuringDock integrate with Digi-Key, Mouser, McMaster-Carr?
- Direct API integration for live inventory checks and PO submission is in public beta with the first customers. Every PO workflow already works today through email-issued POs and manual receipts, for any supplier with or without an API.
- Where does the PO number come from?
- TuringDock auto-assigns per-workspace, per-year sequential numbers like SPO-2026-00031. The number is reserved when the PO is first drafted, so the reference stays stable through the whole flow.
