Line sheets The PO Is Not a Form — It’s the End of a Commercial Object A wholesale PO is the terminal state of one commercial object — units, terms, curve, ATP, approvals — not a blank ERP form people re-key from email, Excel, and WhatsApp. Re-entry is where the season breaks.

Line sheets Your Line Sheet Isn’t a System. That’s Why Season Open Feels Like Chaos. Heads of wholesale don’t need another CRM. They need one path from showroom to approved PO — live line sheet, quote, and gated order for each account and season. 15 Sept 2026 · 4 min
