Search, filters & saved views
The purchase order list has a search box, a set of filters, and named presets that save a filter set — including the search term — for everyone in the shop to reuse.

Searching the list
Section titled “Searching the list”Type into the search box to match against the PO name, ID, supplier, SKU, reference, or supplier instructions. The list updates shortly after you stop typing; clearing the box (the × inside it) updates immediately. The search term is shareable — it’s reflected in the page’s URL, so a bookmarked or copied link reproduces the same search.
For a more targeted search across line items, use Deep search next to the search box — see Line items & costs for what it covers.
Adding and editing filters
Section titled “Adding and editing filters”Click + Filter to open the filter picker: choose a field, then set its value. Each active filter appears as a chip below the toolbar — click a chip to edit it, or the × on the chip to remove it. Clear all removes every filter and the search term in one step.
Available filters
Section titled “Available filters”- Status — one or more PO statuses (Draft, Sent, Partially Confirmed, Confirmed, In Progress, Partially Received, Received, Completed, On Hold, Disputed, Cancelled).
- Supplier — one or more suppliers.
- Destination — one or more Shopify locations, plus two pinned entries for the orders that have no location of their own: Dropship, matching every dropship PO, and At supplier, matching every PO delivered to another supplier. Both pinned entries work on any plan, so you can always find these orders even if your plan no longer lets you create them.
- Payment status — Paid or Unpaid. See Payments for how a PO’s paid status is determined.
- Date — a date range, with quick presets (e.g. last 7 days, this month) alongside custom from/to dates.
Saving a filter set as a preset
Section titled “Saving a filter set as a preset”Once your filters or search term differ from whatever preset is currently active (or from All, the unfiltered default), a Save button appears next to the filter bar:
- Save overwrites the currently active preset with your current filters and search term.
- Save as… prompts for a name and creates a new preset, which becomes the active one.
A preset saves the whole query — every active filter and the search box’s contents. Selecting a preset later applies both; selecting All clears both.
Setting a shop default
Section titled “Setting a shop default”Open the preset switcher and use the star action on a preset to make it the shop’s default. The starred preset’s filters and search term are applied automatically the next time anyone opens the purchase order list with a plain, unfiltered link — a link that already carries filters or a search term (a bookmark, a shared link) always takes priority over the default.
Only one preset per shop can be starred at a time; starring a different one clears the previous default.
Renaming and deleting presets
Section titled “Renaming and deleting presets”Both actions are available from the preset switcher. Deleting the preset you currently have selected drops the switcher back to All, but leaves your current filters and search term exactly as they were — only the saved preset itself is gone.
Edge cases & current behavior
Section titled “Edge cases & current behavior”- A shared link can name a preset that’s since been deleted. The link still applies whatever filters and search term it carried; the switcher just falls back to showing All since the preset it pointed at no longer exists.
- The purchase order list no longer supports the older, browser-only “Save Filters” default. Filter presets are now saved to the shop, not to your browser, so they’re the same for you on any device and for every other operator.
