We kicked off our Beta program for the new Sourcing Grid! This is a better way to process REQs into POs, while viewing vendor pricing and availability. This beta feature is currently only available to Electrical Orgs using Kojo. Please reach out to your CSM if you are interested in trying this beta feature!

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Purchase Order Approvals, a new feature designed to enhance your procurement workflow. This feature allows you to set up custom approval processes based on the dollar value of each purchase order (PO), ensuring that significant expenditures receive the necessary oversight from project managers or purchasing agents.

Purchasing teams, especially in enterprise organizations, need structured approval workflows to manage large and complex POs effectively. With Purchase Order Approvals, you can automate these processes, reducing manual effort and ensuring compliance with your budget and policies. This highly-requested feature, addresses a critical need for our customers.

Purchase Order Approvals is now available to all Kojo customers as part of our procurement product. To enable and configure this feature:

At Kojo, we continuously strive to enhance your user experience. We’re excited to announce an important update to the Request for a Quote (RFQ) / Purchase Order (PO) button that makes your workflow smoother and more reliable.

Previously, when you hovered over the RFQ/PO button, our system performed several checks to ensure everything was in order before allowing you to proceed. While these validations were essential, they sometimes caused delays, making the button feel unresponsive or “buggy.” This led to moments where the button would gray out unexpectedly, disrupting your workflow.

With our latest update, we’ve refactored the validation process to occur only when you click the button. This change eliminates the lag you experienced during hover, resulting in a much more seamless and intuitive interaction.

We believe this improvement will significantly enhance your experience with Kojo, making your back-office operations more efficient and enjoyable. As always, we welcome your feedback and are committed to continually refining our platform to meet your needs.
