Consume an Item from a PO on Service Jobs

Modified on Tue, 29 Apr at 9:53 AM

You can now directly consume parts sourced from a Purchase Order (PO) when creating a Service Job.


This feature simplifies handling out-of-stock parts by automatically creating and/or linking the PO to the job and consuming the part once it is received.


Follow the steps below to use this new functionality:


Step 1: Open or Create a Service Job

  • Navigate to the Service Jobs module

  • Select either an existing job or create a new one. For this article we will be selecting a service job that we've created



Step 2: Add a Task Line

  • Select the Service Job and head over to the Tasks tab.

  • Add the necessary part for the Job

  • Select Source From PO as the part consumption option


  • Click OK, A window dialog will immediately pop up giving you the option to either pick an unmapped PO line or Create a new Purchase Order. For this article, we'll be creating a new Purchase Order for the Job. Please note that you can create a PO for more items than you need for the job.

  • Proceed with the process of creating a purchase order as usual. After creating the Purchase Order, it should immediately show up as an unmapped Purchase Order Line.

  • Select the line and click OK. This will automatically consume the part from the Purchase Order as soon as it is saved.


Note: If you have multiple PO lines they will be combined for each associated product vendor.



Step 3: Receiving the Purchase Order


  • Receive the newly created PO. Once this has been received, it would automatically be consumed into the Job.


  • Once it has been received, the status of the PO in the job would then update


Additional Notes

  • The part will not need to be manually linked after receiving — the system handles it automatically.

  • This feature is ideal for managing out-of-stock parts when building service jobs.

  • Streamlines purchasing and fulfillment workflows by reducing manual steps.
