WorkGuru supports the bulk creation of purchase orders via a csv import template.  The purrchase order import template requires a minimum of 2 rows.  One purchase order linetype and one product linetype (refer attached template for layout).  You can import multiple purchase orders using the one import template.  The import template can be uploaded on the Import Hub (Administration -> Imports)


Note:  When importing received purchase orders and using stock control, you WILL increase your stock on hand quantity and values.   This needs to be a consideration when importing WIP or historical purchases.
