Purchase Orders

Requires.

  • Enhanced Inventory enabled, and
  • Inventory Management / Assignments permission anywhere.

A purchase order (PO) is a record that you've placed equipment on order with a vendor. Each PO has one or more line items (equipment + quantity), a vendor, a recipient (who the equipment goes to once it arrives), and a fulfillment state that tracks how much has been received against what was ordered.

What the page shows

A filterable, sortable list of every PO in the company. Each row is one PO. Clicking a row opens the detail page where you can receive items, edit line items, change status, and so on.

Filtering

The Filter button opens a side flyout. Available filters:

Field What it does
Sort By Choose the order — by ID (default), created date, etc. Always shown first.
Per Page 10, 25, or 50 rows. Always shown second.
Vendor Narrow to a single vendor.
Status Open (default) or Closed.
Fulfillment All, Partial, None, or no filter.
Recipient A specific user or location.
Date from / Date to Created-date window.

The filter button shows a red dot when any filter (other than Sort or Per Page) is set, and a Clear action resets everything to defaults.

Fulfillment states

Each PO carries a derived fulfillment indicator based on its line items:

  • Nothing received — no quantity received against any line item yet.
  • Partially received — at least one item received, but some still outstanding.
  • All received — every line item is fully received. Time to close the PO.

You can act on a PO right up until it's closed. Closed POs become read-only and continue to appear in the ledger.
