After creating an Asset Management purchase order, adding the respective product(s) to the purchase order, and receiving the item(s) from a vendor, Asset Management allows you to ship those item(s) to a site or multiple sites. Products must be received before they can be assigned/shipped to sites.

  1.  Navigation:
  2. Admin View

Note: A purchase order will remain in the status of "Open" until the district-level administrator changes the purchase order status to "Closed." Products can be added to an "Open" purchase order indefinitely.

Closing Out a Purchase Order

A purchase order can be closed without processing all the products within it. Existing products can still be edited, received from a vendor, and shipped/received. Changing to a status of "Closed" prevents the addition of products and the ability to edit purchase order details. Once closed, a purchase order can only be reopened by the administrative level.

"Invoice Number" and "Invoice Date" are optional fields. When the information is saved in the "Shipping Management" window, any data in those two fields will be associated with assets scanned as part of the purchase order. The invoice number and invoice date will show up on the funding information for the tags and on the purchasing ticket.

Invoice numbers can be edited at any time through the "Edit" function.
