Overview
LineNow includes setup prompts and guided walkthroughs to help you learn the purchasing cycle. The portal also adapts its navigation for smaller screens, while dedicated receiving and counting links make those tasks easier to complete on a phone.
Finish the Setup Guide
The guide follows three steps: Add a business unit, Add a supplier, and Add an item. It uses the active business units and supplier relationships you can access. If a step seems incorrect, check the selected business unit and whether the related records are active.
Practice with a guided walkthrough
- Open the guided-walkthrough option from navigation when available.
- Choose the workflow closest to your business: stockroom, retail, food service, dropship, or manufacturing.
- Follow the highlighted sequence to review inventory or sales demand, open a supplier cart, create the test PO, and complete the relevant fulfillment or receiving steps.
- Review the result before returning to your live account.
The walkthrough uses test business-unit labels and simulated work. A completed practice order is not an order placed with one of your real suppliers.
Work on a phone
Use the mobile navigation to open the same permitted portal tabs. For an assigned receiving or count task, open its dedicated link and complete the review and submission steps. The business unit and access behind the link determine its scope.
If you lose the connection
Restore your internet connection and reopen the task. Check for a saved confirmation before repeating a submission. A visible offline screen is not proof that an order, receipt, or count reached LineNow. For counts with saved browser progress, review that progress before resuming and still submit the completed count.
