Frequently asked questions
How do bookstores manage sale-or-return stock with purchase orders?
Issue a PO for the delivery, noting the sale-or-return terms. When unsold stock is returned, reference the original PO on your returns documentation to match against the supplier's credit note.
What should a bookstore PO include for book orders?
Include title, author, ISBN, publisher, format (hardback, paperback, large print), quantity, agreed retail price, and your trade discount percentage.
How do bookstores negotiate terms with publishers?
Committed volume through regular POs helps you negotiate better discount rates and promotional support. Attend trade events and meet distributor reps to build these relationships.
