BusinessIntents Business Suite

Manage purchase orders with a clear record of every handoff.

Order goods from your suppliers: a priced line-item document with an approval step, aimed at a delivery store, tracked from draft to received and invoiced.

The Purchase Orders feature keeps its source record, status, and downstream references inside BusinessIntents. Teams can work from the same operational context and open the detailed guide whenever they need field-level instructions.

Use the documented operating model as a starting point, then adapt fields, approvals, reports, or connected areas when your process differs.

One connected record

Connect purchase orders to the work around the record.

Purchase Orders

A purchase order is a document: a header, a line-items table, and a totals footer. Header — you pick the Supplier (required) and the order date, optionally a due date, the Store the goods should be delivered into, and free-text conditions (delivery and payment terms).

See the fields and steps

Order lines

Add lines in the items table; each line does most of the arithmetic for you: 1. Pick a Product — the line's price, unit of measure and tax rate are copied from the product's defaults the moment you pick it. The price is only a starting hint — edit it to the actual purchase cost. All stay editable per line. 2.

The approval flow (who does what)

Every new purchase order starts a small workflow; the task appears in the assignee's Inbox and inline on the order itself: 1. Approve — the approver sees the number, dates, supplier, store and total, and approves or rejects. Reject cancels the order (CANCELLED); approve confirms it (CONFIRMED). 2.
