Purchase Order Information

Order Status

On the left you’ll see all the information relating to the status of your order. You’ll only be able to see all of this once you’ve processed the order.

First you’ll see the order number and an overall status: New, Sent To Supplier or Received.

Below this is the order category for this order e.g. Fasteners, Plates or Steel/Cladding.

Lastly is a list of key dates. Some of this information will be filled in automatically however the Order Confirmed, Delivery Confirmed, and Dispatched Date all need to be changed manually. You can also add a note to these sections when updating the dates.

Manage your orders by keeping this up to date and using your Order Review page

Supplier Information

Next is your supplier information. This shows the name of the supplier, their address and contact information. You can change this supplier by clicking the blue edit icon, see HERE for more information.

Below your supplier details will be your job name and a link to the job management page.

If you need an additional reference listed on your purchase order for your own record you can fill in a Reference.

Delivery Details

Next up is your delivery details. Below the standard information you’ll be able to select your requested delivery dates and provide any additional notes to your supplier regarding delivery.

Before processing your order you’ll be able to see a Quick Selection. Use this to quickly update the delivery details to match the customer, your office or the supplier you wish to consolidate this order to.

Notes

To the far right is your notes section.

Some notes are automatically generated when an update is made. These notes keep track of when the action was completed and by who. Automatic notes are generated: when an order is processed, when the order status information is updated and when an order is unlocked.

Notes can also be added manually by your users to help manage your order. You can both include text notes or attach documents using the paperclip icon.

This is a great place to keep a copy of your order confirmation once you receive it from your supplier

Total Cost

Below all of this will be the total cost of your purchase order, inclusive of tax.
