Copy link & title

Update Time: 23 Jun 2026 12:02

In e-commerce warehouse management, an efficient and accurate purchase process is key to maintaining supply chain stability and avoiding both overstock and stockouts.
BigSeller provides sellers with a fully integrated, end-to-end procurement solution — covering supplier management, intelligent restock suggestions, detailed purchase planning, one-click ordering via 1688, and goods receipt with inventory updates. This article gives you a quick overview of BigSeller's core purchase modules and the complete workflow.

The workflow is as follows:

1. Supplier & Supply Source Management

Before starting any purchase activity, you'll need to set up your supplier information in the system and link your Merchant SKUs to the corresponding suppliers.
👉 Introduction to Supplier List (Purchase)

2. Smart Restocking: Purchase Suggestion

BigSeller automatically calculates and generates daily intelligent restock suggestions based on your historical sales, current inventory, and in-transit stock — helping you stock up before shortages occur.
👉 Introduction to Purchase Suggestion

3. Flexible Collaboration: Purchase Plan

To move beyond the traditional limitation of one purchase order per supplier per warehouse, BigSeller introduces the Purchase Plan module. It enables operations and procurement teams to divide work efficiently and manage restock needs at the Merchant SKU level.
👉 Introduction to Purchase Plan

4. Core Execution: Purchase Order Management (incl. 1688 Integration)

A Purchase Order is the final procurement document sent to your supplier. You can create one manually, import in bulk via Excel, or generate directly from a Purchase Suggestion or Purchase Plan.
👉 Introduction to Purchase Feature

BigSeller is  also deeply integrated with 1688, allowing procurement and finance teams to sync and track orders without switching between systems.

5. Supporting Operations: Purchase Order Print Settings

When a Purchase Order is in In Transit / Partially Received / Completed status, you can print it for warehouse staff to verify incoming goods.

6. Closing the Loop: Purchase Order Receiving

Once goods arrive at the warehouse, they must be received in the system promptly to deduct in-transit stock and update available inventory accordingly.
