Creating Purchase Orders (POs) for Non-Service Clients

Informing our Software Only users on how to create Purchase Orders

Updated over a year ago

Purchase Orders (POs) are the next process of ordering after making a proposal/estimate. Once your proposal/estimate is approved by your client, and the payment has been received, you can start sending out Purchase Orders to vendors.

*It is important that all the information is accurate regarding your items' ship-to, specs, and vendor info, as this will be the final document presented to the vendor to place your order.

In these Best Practices and Short Video Tutorial, we are going to show you how to create Purchase Orders in Designer Link 2.0 for our Non-Service Clients (Does not use DA Purchasing/Accounting). The bottom of this page also includes related articles and frequently asked questions.
