Where to create Purchase Orders

  1. Purchase order tab in a job

    This is most often used. Purchase orders from this location will have job-related data pre-filled to save you some time.

  2. Costings menu

    has worklists and such, so many things to input, nothing saved from the job.

    How to Navigate to > JobBag > Costings > Purchase Orders

  3. Right click on job
