# Why Can't I Add a Product to a Purchase Order?

If you are trying to add a product to a purchase order by searching for it, but the product needs to show up, ensure that the product has a vendor assigned to it. This assigned vendor should match the vendor for the purchase order.

#### **How to Add a Vendor**

- You can navigate to the product in question.
- Please look over the available vendors in the vendor's table, which is about three fourth of the way down the page.
- Select a vendor to assign to the product. It should now be available for the PO.
  
  > **NOTE:** For 3PLs, the vendor is added at the Client/child account level.

#### **If You Need to Create a Vendor**

- Using the top menu, click **Inventory**, then click **Vendors**: [https://app.shiphero.com/dashboard/vendors](https://app.shiphero.com/dashboard/vendors)
- Click **Add A Vendor** and fill in the desired information.
- Upon saving the vendor, it should be available to use with your products and POs.

If you are trying to add a product to a Purchase Order using the Auto Add feature but the product does not get added, verify that the product has a reorder value greater than 0 on the product details page.
