Purchase Orders

Administrators with access to the Company Settings have the ability to customize the use of Purchase Orders (PO). This allows you to tailor the PO process to fit the specific needs of your organization. For better understanding of the options available, please see our article: Company Settings - Purchase Orders.

Define the PO Numbering

You can start by setting up the numbering system for your purchase orders.

Under the "General" header, you can choose between a 3-digit or 4-digit sequence for your POs. To set this up, simply enter a 3-digit number and click on the "Enabled" button.


Adding Taxes

If you need to account for taxes charged by your vendors, you can easily add them to your Purchase Orders. To do this, click on the "Add Tax" button.

Enter the tax type (e.g., GST, HST, TVA) and the corresponding value in percentage. For instance, if you want to charge 5% GST, enter "GST" as the type and "5" as the value.


Once you've created the taxes, you can set them as default. This means that the tax will be calculated and added to every line item when creating a PO. However, it's worth mentioning that you can still change the applicable taxes for individual line items using any of the available taxes you've created under the PO Taxes settings.


Requirements

Choose what fields you want included in your POs. This will then bring up a field that will require filling for each Line Item when creating a Purchase Order.


Workflow

Choose from a Manual or Approval workflow for your Purchase Orders.



Threshold Levels

When using an Approval Workflow, you can set a Threshold Level, based on the monetary value of the PO. This will allow you to define the approvers for each project.

Enter the monetary value for the bottom threshold of your new level. If you create more than one, each new level will set the top level of the previous one. Then assign users to each level and the projects for which they will be approving


Enable Fields

Choose the fields you want included in your Purchase Orders, as well as the fields you want for every Line Item type, and how you want your PDFs to look.

Submittals

In your Submittals Settings, you can enable your Alternative Revise & Resubmit Process as well as Enable the Fields you want to see in both the Web & Mobile apps, as well as in the PDF of your Submittal.

Alternative Revise & Resubmit

Enabling this will automatically recreate your Submittal workflow as soon as the "Revise & Resubmit" response has been recorded. This helps to save time if you plan to use the same workflow when resubmitting your Submittal.

Enable Fields

Customize exactly what you want to see when creating your Submittal, and exactly what you want to see when viewing/sharing the PDF of the Submittal.

Time

The Time tab is where you can configure all of your Time settings, from establishing your Geo-Fence to Customizing your own Work Types and Custom Fields.
