Before you start
Use a staff role that can view and edit catalog, inventory, purchase order, or tax setup as needed.
Create locations and categories before assigning location availability or organizing catalog records.
Select the relevant location when counting stock, receiving purchase orders, or checking POS availability.
Confirm tax, inventory tracking, SKU, barcode, and active status before staff rely on the item in POS.
Run a small POS test after setup when the change affects checkout.
Steps
Open Purchase Orders.
Create a draft order with supplier, reference, expected date, notes, location, variants, quantities, and unit costs.
Submit the order when it is ready to track.
Receive stock as it arrives, including partial receipts when needed.
Review over-received or completed status before closing the workflow.
Cancel only when the order should no longer affect inventory.
What happens after saving or completing this
Topo saves the record in your gym account and updates the related staff screens.
Member-facing visibility, checkout behavior, access, email delivery, inventory, or reports may change depending on the workflow.
Review the affected profile, checkout, signup page, report, or audience before considering the task complete.
Common issues and fixes
Checkout is disabled: confirm selected location, non-empty cart, member or guest checkout, payment readiness, and required payment method.
An item is missing: check active status, location availability, variant sellability, bundle contents, and inventory tracking.
A payment or Terminal sale is pending: review the sale record before retrying so you do not double-charge the customer.
Add at least one valid line item before creating a purchase order.
Only draft purchase orders can be edited.
