Schedule "Weekly Procurement Checklist Emails"

Choose the day of the week, and time of that day, that you want your Procurement Checklist to be sent.

We encourage this time to be synchronized with some in-person meeting that covers the topic of Procurement. This checklist includes only the incomplete deadlines that are past due or imminent.

Each Trade lead receives a checklist filtered to their required actions. Only trades with required actions receive a checklist.

When new materials or orders are created, these are the default values that are used.

Set Lead Time default or leave blank

You can either choose a default lead time to automatically calculate the Submit, Approve, and Order deadlines, or leave it blank.

As long as an order's Lead Time is blank, it will be included in Weekly Procurement Checklist that can be used to source that value directly from the Trade Contractor.
