Purchase orders

Here, you can view purchase orders (POs) from your partnering waste handlers or RR administrators. POs can have two statuses: SENT and CONFIRMED.

• SENT – This status indicates a request to purchase has been sent to you, allowing you to take action and create a shipment based on it.

• CONFIRMED – A shipment has been sent out by you based on the PO, and the receiver has confirmed that the shipment documents match the PO.

  You are permitted to make adjustments to the shipment sent against a PO; it does not need to match exactly. Once the shipment is made, the receiver will review and adjust the SENT PO as necessary.

Purchase orders can also be viewed from the inventory. If a category has been included in any POs, you can view them by expanding the category and navigating to the RESERVED tab.

Please note that this reservation is informational only and will not restrict you from using the waste as you see fit.

To create a shipment against a PO, click to open the PO and locate the CREATE SHIPMENT button at the bottom of the page. This will take you directly to a page where the categories listed in the PO are already prefilled.

You can still add details, select additional items, and edit the volumes in the shipment.

Please remember that making edits and adding different items should be based on mutual agreements, so ensure that these changes are accepted by all parties involved.

Finish up making a shipment as usual. More info on creating and finishing up shipments is available in the SHIPMENTS tutorial.
