Objective

How to setup Purchase Orders to be numbered per Project (and include the Job #) at the company level as the system default and on a project by project basis.

Background

StructShare has the ability to setup Purchase Orders to have a numbering system that will include the job # so that each PO # in your system is tied to a job # for easy reference. You can set this up at the company level for all projects or on a project by project basis.

Things to Consider

  • Permissions - The ‘System Admin’ permission level is needed to configure the setting at the system level in 'System Settings'.

    • A 'Project Admin' can enable the setting on a project by project basis from the 'Projects' screen.

Steps:

  • How to configure by Project, for all Projects by default via System Settings

  • How to configure on a Project by Project basis via 'Project Settings'
