Purchase Orders
The Purchase Orders tab tracks every procurement request issued to one supplier. It follows an order from creation through to receipt, which is how purchasing keeps stock arriving on time and costs where they were expected.
Where to find it
Open a supplier and select the Purchase Orders tab.
Filters
Filter by Reference, Date range, Location, Item, Project and Branch. The Also closed and Outstanding checkboxes narrow the list to completed or still-open orders.
Purchase Order List Columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Reference | The order reference. Click through to the order. |
| Order Date | When it was raised. |
| Location | The warehouse goods are expected into. |
| Supplier's Reference | Their quote or order number. |
| Amount | The order value. |
| Status | Not received, partially received or received. |
The Outstanding filter is the useful one. It shows what this supplier still owes you — the list to work from when chasing a late delivery.
