Broken and inefficient Purchase Order and Transfer system
The new Purchase Order and Transfer system is perceived as broken, lacking documentation, and overly complex. Merchants are experiencing frequent errors that delete input data and a lack of API access that breaks existing workflows.

They forced us into a broken system which they acknowledge was launched before being complete, have released next to no documentation, and it completely changes the workflow.
This error keeps happening in the new version of Purchase Orders. It’s not accurate and then I need to discard changes and restart it all. It deletes any work that has been input.
My biggest pain point is there's no API access to get or update PO data. That breaks so many of my workflows
