Purchase Orders

DesignSmart provides a lot of flexibility when it comes to creating purchase orders. Below are the two primary options.

1. Flagging Items To Order

Some firms prefer for designers to focus on design and not deal with creating and sending purchase orders. These firms will have bookkeeping staff who process purchase orders. But how can designers effectively communicate to the bookkeeping staff when an item is ready to order? Rare is the firm that has not accidentally ordered the wrong chair or sofa because of a miscommunication.

For these firms, DesignSmart offers a feature called "Flag to Order" that designers can use when they are absolutely sure that the items have the correct information and can be ordered. Designers can flag one item or hundreds of items quickly and easily so they can get back to design. Then the bookkeeping staff can track which items have been flagged and order them.

2. Designer Created POs

Some firms prefer that their designers create purchase orders and DesignSmart allows any user to create purchase orders.
