Purchasing Beta

Create purchase orders for sub-rentals, sub-contracted labor, and manual costs.

There may be times when you have to sub-rent gear, sub-contract services, or work with freelance staff, and you might like to send a purchase order to confirm this with the supplier or vendor. A purchase order (PO) is a document that provides details of the goods or services that you’d like.

We’ve now launched a beta program that gives you the option to create and manage purchase orders in your Current RMS system for sub-rentals, freelance labor costs, and manual costs, such as parking fees or accommodation costs.

The term “beta” means we’re actively working on updates to add to this feature over the coming months, but rest assured, what we’ve delivered so far has been thoroughly tested and is ready to rely on.

In the beta programme, you can:

• Create and send branded purchase order documents for each of your suppliers.

• Create manual purchase orders.

• Create back-to-back purchase orders directly from the costs view on a job.

• Set expected arrival date and notes against purchase orders.

• Get an overview of all the purchase orders that have been created in Resources > Purchase Orders.

• Authorize and mark purchase orders as sent.
