# Purchase Order Limits – Suppliers

## Introduction

Joblogic provides a Purchase Order (P.O) approval system which allows the Primary user of the account/users with a higher permission to set approval limits to P.O's based on their value. This means that any P.O’s raised exceeding a set amount will need to be approved prior to continuing with the P.O.

This user guide will detail how to enable the P.O Approval Limit for Supplier P.O’s and explain the process of supplier P.O approval.

## Enabling the Purchase Order Approval Limit

In order to enable the supplier P.O approval feature for the Joblogic account, navigate to Settings > System Setup.

Navigate to the ‘Purchase Order Approvals’ checkbox and select ‘Enable’.

Enter the system default P.O limit for the Joblogic account.

Once the function has been enabled, user specific supplier P.O approval limits can also be set.

These are governed under Settings > Staff > Select applicable user > Misc > Approval Limits.

Note: If no amount is set at the staff level, the system default P.O limit set in System Setup will be applied.

## Supplier Purchase Order Approvals

Once the Purchase Order limit is enabled, if any P.O’s exceeding the limit set (at system or staff level, as applicable) are raised, the user will be presented with a banner stating that the ‘PO exceeds your approval limit’.

The P.O will then require approval from a user with a higher approval limit.

The user(s) with a higher approval limit can view all P.O’s requiring approval via All Purchase Orders > Needs Approval.

Each P.O can then be approved by selecting the P.O as applicable and clicking the ‘Approve’ button.
