Work a queue in bulk

Approving the week's purchase orders and fulfilling the morning's sales orders are the same job repeated many times. Wherever a list allows it, Skuvelo gives it the same controls: a checkbox on each row, a checkbox in the header for the page, and a bar at the bottom of the screen that counts what you picked and holds the actions your role allows.

Selecting

• Tick rows one at a time, or tick the header checkbox to select every row on the page. On a phone, each card has its own checkbox.
• Select all N matching reaches every row your filter matches, across pages — not just the page you are looking at.
• Your selection stays put while you sort, filter or change page. If a filter hides a row you selected, the bar says how many are hidden, and those rows are not included until you clear the filter.
• Clear selection, or press Escape while you are in the bar, to start again. The selection also clears once an action finishes.

What you can do in bulk

• Planning recommendations → draft purchase orders. On Plan → Replenishment, select recommendations and choose Create draft purchase orders. Drafts are grouped by supplier, delivery date and ship-to location, you choose ship-complete or partial shipments for each order, and any item that cannot go on a purchase order is named before you confirm. Drafts still need their own approval.
• Approve purchase orders. On Purchasing, select orders and choose Approve. The confirmation lists each order, its value and what approving it will do for you — approve it, send it for sign-off, or leave it pending because it is above your approval limit. Each order is checked against your spend policy on its own, exactly as if you approved it from its page. An optional note is recorded on each order's approval history.
• Put purchase orders on hold. Select orders and choose Put on hold. A reason is required; it is recorded on each order's history, and each order is released on its own.
• Approve or reject requests on Flagged Items & Approvals. Rejecting needs a reason, recorded against each request. You can sort the approvals list by age or amount and filter it by supplier or status, and the address bar keeps that view, so you can bookmark or share it.
• Record fulfilment for several sales orders on Orders. Each selected order has everything still open on it fulfilled from the location you choose. Tick orders in Needs attention or Recent orders; both feed the same selection. In Needs attention, Select all in this tab selects every order on the tab you are looking at, so you can clear it in one go.

Changing products rather than working a queue is a different tool: Bulk maintain on Products changes the category or brand of many items at once.

When something can't be done

Every record is handled on its own, one after another. If one fails — above your approval limit, changed by someone else since you loaded the page, out of stock — the others still go through, and a summary names each record that was left as it was and why. Fix those and run them again; nothing that already succeeded is repeated.

Pressing confirm twice never does the work twice. Each purchase order is approved against the version you loaded, and each fulfilment carries its own key, so a repeat is recognised and nothing extra is written.

Who can use it

The bar only offers what your role allows: approving needs approval rights, holds need purchasing rights, and fulfilment needs order rights. See Team roles and permissions.
