Keep purchase orders connected to the requirement.

Move from an approved purchasing requirement to supplier-specific draft orders and recorded receipts.

THE CHALLENGE

An order is only one part of the record

When a purchase order is detached from the job and quotation that led to it, a later question about quantity, delivery destination or price can require a search through several systems.

Partial deliveries create another gap if a receipt is recorded without the order line or if the remaining quantity is not clear.

THE APPROACH

Review purchasing through to delivery

In the development build, approved requisitions can produce supplier-specific draft purchase orders. Role-based thresholds apply to order approval, and creating an order does not automatically issue or send it.

Goods receiving records quantities against an order, including partial deliveries. Linked job allocations help retain the context of the original requirement.

IN PRACTICE

Follow the work, not just the records.

A supplier delivers four of ten ordered components. The team records the four against the PO and retains the remaining quantity for a later delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Are purchase orders sent automatically?

No. Creating a draft order does not send it. Order issue and any configured email action require separate deliberate steps.

Can a delivery be partial?

Yes. The development build records partial receipts against an order and tracks the remaining quantity.
