What are Purchase Orders?

The Purchase Orders feature in Mission Control enables project managers to efficiently track purchasing commitments made on their projects with suppliers and subcontractors. This comprehensive functionality allows users to create and manage purchase orders directly related to their projects, ensuring accurate and up-to-date records of all purchasing activities. Users can record and monitor the details of what has been claimed, what payments have been made, and what amounts are still outstanding.

By integrating this business process into Mission Control, project managers can maintain a clear and organized view of all their procurement activities, leading to better financial management and project oversight.

Why are Purchase Orders important?

The importance of the Purchase Orders feature lies in its ability to streamline and centralize procurement processes within the project management lifecycle. Managing purchases is a critical aspect of project execution, as it directly impacts the project’s budget and timeline. Without a robust system to track and manage these commitments, projects can easily run over budget or experience delays due to mismanaged resources.

The Purchase Orders feature ensures that all purchasing activities are accurately recorded and easily accessible, which helps project managers make informed decisions, avoid over-expenditure, and maintain control over the project’s financial health. Additionally, by automating and simplifying the purchase order process, teams can reduce administrative overhead and focus more on core project tasks.
