Click Get started, then use Proto to configure Purchase Order System for your business. Name the Procurement Manager responsible for the pilot and the Buyer who will run its first order. Choose a department, category and receiving location with a real upcoming purchase.

Prepare the first operating cycle

Bring supplier identities, item or service descriptions, cost centers and the approval policy. Include the signed agreement and current rate when the purchase uses a contract. Identify who will receive the goods or accept the service and who will reconcile accounts payable evidence.

Prepare the request and follow its approved scope into an order. Include a supplier acknowledgment, partial delivery and exception in the rehearsal. Use implementation phases to organize opening data and purchasing connections to agree external handoffs.

Review before release

Have the Requester, Buyer, Approver and receiving owner explain their next action on the same purchase. Check a rejected request, an increased order quantity and a return. The Controller should reconcile the opening commitment and connection delivery results. Resolve access and ownership issues before expanding the purchasing scope.

Set up Purchase Order System your way.
