FAQ

About purchasing: rfq to grn.

Can a PO need approval?

Yes. Set an approval rule for purchase orders, for example above an amount, and the PO waits for approval before it goes out.

What if only part of the order arrives?

Record a GRN for what came. The PO shows as partly received until the rest arrives or you short-close it.

Can site staff record receipts?

Yes. Site In-charge members can record GRNs. Bills stay with finance, project leads and owners.
