Purchase Orders

The Purchase Orders module in Nettware enables your organization to efficiently manage procurement by creating, tracking, and fulfilling orders from suppliers. It integrates with multiple document types and includes flexible delivery options and automated notifications to keep all parties informed.

Create Purchase Orders from Other Documents

Purchase Orders can be created directly from Sales Invoices, Work Orders, Sales Estimates and Quotations.

This helps ensure all purchasing activity is directly linked to specific client needs or internal operations, improving accuracy and traceability.

Manage Deliveries & Collections

Define how and where purchased items should be delivered or collected:

  • Delivery from the supplier’s address to your business

  • Direct shipment to a client’s property

  • Delivery to a work site, especially when linked to a Work Order

  • Add delivery instructions and manage fulfillment logistics directly from the PO

Order Status Tracking

  • Track the status of each purchase order through various stages (e.g., Draft, Sent, Received, Completed)

  • Update and monitor progress in real time for better supply chain visibility

Client Notifications

Nettware’s Notifications system can be used to:

  • Inform clients when related items are on order

  • Confirm expected delivery or collection timelines

  • Send updates as the order status changes

Purchase Orders Authorisations

Adjust the organisations Purchase Thresholds and apply relevant threshold on operative's Employment Contract level to keep spending under control.

Tip: Use linked documents and automated alerts to align purchasing with sales and service activity, ensuring everything arrives where and when it’s needed.
