      May 2022 - Blank ePOs for Alphabroder, Cutter & Buck, and S&S Activewear

      alphabroder, Cutter & Buck, and S&S Activewear are now available on PromoStandards with live product data and blank Electronic Purchase Orders (ePOs)

      What does this mean for you?

      This will allow you and your team to access data directly from the alphabroder, Cutter & Buck, and S&S Activewear system, submit POs instantaneously and give you immediate access to Order Status/Ship Notifications.

      Managers can now trust that their reps will use up-to-date product data on their sales and purchase forms.

      Sale reps now have full access to product data not available through other integrations, including real-time inventory, size/color variants, distributor-specific pricing, and high-resolution images.

      Finance reps can process invoices confidently, knowing that the product costs are automatically pulled from the supplier's database and include any special discounts.

      What is a blank ePO?

      Blank ePOs allow your team to source blank apparel products confidently by pulling live product data directly from the supplier's database without restricting the distributor's decoration options. 

      Unlike decorated ePOs, blank ePOs do not include predefined artwork details, giving you the freedom and flexibility to apply the artwork details and charges you need to each of your products.

      ePOs are submitted directly to the supplier's database, removing the need for additional phone calls and emails to place an order.

      FAQ

      Can I create blank ePOs for other apparel suppliers on commonsku?

      Blank ePOs are available exclusively from alphabroder, Cutter & Buck, and S&S Activewear.

      Can I create an ePO if the decoration is being done by alphabroder, Cutter & Buck, or S&S Activewear?

      Blank ePO products will revert to regular purchase orders if the product is being decorated by the supplier rather than a third-party decorator.

      Can I create ePOs for my custom products?

      ePOs do not apply to custom products, products from Collections, and products from past orders where PromoStandards was not active.

      Why is my product not pulling in promostandards information?

      PromoStandards pulls product data based on the item’s SKU. If an item’s SKU in SAGE, ESP, or Distributor Central differs from its SKU in PromoStandards, the item will revert to using the SAGE/ESP/Distributor Central data.
