Manage Purchases & Inventory Best Practices ✔

Manage purchases and inventory day to day, from creating and approving POs to syncing bills and tracking stock.

In this article:

Create & Approve POs

  1. Create a Purchase Order when ordering inventory of an Item or to manage purchases.

  2. To approve or edit a Purchase Order, navigate to Purchases > Approve Purchase Orders

  3. Once ordered materials are received, click the Approved button (Edit PO if necessary)
    Once PO is marked as Approved:

    1. This will sync into QuickBooks as a bill if Item is set-up as reimbursable.

    2. This will add to inventory in SingleOps if Item is set-up as inventoried


Manage Inventory

  1. Navigate to Purchases > Inventory

  2. Select an Operation from the Operation dropdown

  3. This page displays all Inventory info and also allows you to Transfer Items, Deplete Items and Add Items.

    💡Inventory Item quantities will automatically deplete as the material is used on Jobs/Visits & those Jobs/Visits are marked as Approved. Learn more about SingleOps Inventory.
