This Help Article covers:
General/Overview:
The Orders Window for a Charge Up Job initially displays no Product Lines, with Product Lines being added to build the Order.
⚠️ NOTE: To Add an Order, the Supplier must be entered into Katipolt. For more information on this, see the Help Article: "Accounts - Supplier (Add - Edit - Remove)".
⚠️ NOTE: When placing Orders, using an Order Number that starts with the Job Number will automatically assign the Purchase Invoice to the Job. You can follow the Job Number with a “Space”, “Dash” or “Slash” and then any text you want. I.E. “1234 Mr John Doe”, “1234 – Mr John Doe” or “1234 / Mr John Doe”.
To Enable a User to Add or Edit Orders
For a User to be able to Add or Edit an Order they need to be enabled on the Katipolt Desktop side. To do this they need to be added to a Katipolt Role with permission “Add/Edit Orders” toggled to "On".
Company Settings > Staff Top Tab > Roles Expandable Section > Select a Role that displays Katipolt “Add/Edit Orders” toggled to "On" OR from a Role toggle it to "On" > then select the person from the “Assigned To” dropdown to add
⚠️ NOTE: Toggling "Add/Edit Orders" to "On" also toggles "View Orders" to "On". You can Toggle just "View Orders" to "On" which allows a User to View Orders, but not Add or Edit an Order.
