Stay on top of your costs with purchase orders

Keep track of orders, actual costs and bills payable

When using external vendors, it’s important to keep records of what’s being ordered, the cost of those orders, changes to costs and delivery status. By using purchase orders, you'll make sure nothing falls through the cracks and there are no surprises at month-end.

Integrate with Xero

If you use WorkflowMax and Xero, there's no need to double-handle data. Use the purchase order management module in WorkflowMax to receipt-in supplier invoices to keep your job financial reporting intact. WorkflowMax automatically pushes this information to Xero. Then you just need to switch to Xero to approve payment - it's so easy.

Flexible receipting processes

There are a number of ways to receipt an order in WorkflowMax. Use full receipt if you’ve got the full order. Use partial receipt if you’ve only received part of your order.

Got questions? We have answers!

A purchase order is a legally binding document between a supplier and a buyer. It details the items the buyer agrees to purchase at a certain price point. Purchase order management systems have made the purchasing process more efficient and allow for better inventory and payment tracking.
You sure can! Customise your purchase orders including the layout and your own branding. You can even do it all from within Microsoft Word. Contact us for help.
Unfortunately, this isn't a feature that is currently available in the app.
Purchase orders are commonly used whenever a buyer wants to purchase supplies or inventory on the account. They're also used to fulfil orders and process payments. In other words, a purchase order is created before an invoice is sent since it defines the contract of the sale.
WorkflowMax automatically generates numbers for purchase orders, but you can edit the default prefixes and number sequencing to suit your own requirements. Check out this 0:57 min video on how to do this or contact us for help.
Yes, as long as you’ve enabled integration with Xero, the process is seamless. Simply raise purchase orders in WorkflowMax and add as job costs as you receipt supplier invoices. These are automatically pushed into Xero for payment. Then switch to Xero to approve payment. Easy!
