A single Work Order can have as many Purchase Orders attached to it as needed. You can keep adding POs at any point — even after the Work Order has been completed.
Steps
Open the Work Order
Navigate to the relevant Service Request and open the Work Order you want to add POs to.
Go to Purchase Orders
Scroll down to the Purchase Orders section within the Work Order.
Click New Purchase Order
Fill in the details — assign the vendor, select the type (Purchase Order or Back Charge), add line items with descriptions, cost codes, and amounts, and attach any supporting documentation.
Click Create
The PO is now attached to the Work Order.
Repeat for each additional PO
Click New Purchase Order again and follow the same steps for each additional PO needed.
Common Use Cases
Back charge + repair payment → When you need to pay a vendor to fix an issue and back charge the at-fault vendor at the same time, each gets its own PO on the same Work Order.
Multiple subcontractors on one repair → When a large repair involves more than one trade, you can create a separate PO per subcontractor to keep billing organized.
Separate billing components → When a single job has costs that need to be tracked or coded independently.
Key Notes
POs are independent from Work Orders — you can add a PO even after a Work Order is completed or closed, without needing to reopen it.
Each PO can have a different vendor, type, and line items.
There is no limit to the number of POs that can be attached to a single Work Order.
