Supplier Purchase Orders

Often times supplies needed for a work order come through an outside vendor(s).  Typically, the buying company will issue multiple purchase orders (POs), one for each vendor. 

With BigWave, you can now capture those purchase orders in the work order itself.  Not only does this help you keep track of what is expected and PO status, but work order search now searches across vendor POs as well.  Many times, a project team will get a call from a vendor asking about a specific PO.  Using BigWave, the project team can now quickly find the associated work order to that PO.  This helps save time allowing the team to efficiently process these types of inquiries.
