Purchase Orders
Studio Manager Purchase Orders
Lots of design firms like to use purchase orders to keep control of expenses and define parameters and costs to their vendors. POs help you make sure both parties know what’s expected. You don’t have to use purchase orders, but they are here if you want them and are fully integrated with Studio Manager. See the screen shot below of our main entry screen.
Convert to Payable Button
When supplier invoices come in, click the “Convert to Payable” button to convert the original PO into a payable. The line items in your PO are actually records in the Job Costs file, so you don’t have to enter them again later.
Two types of purchase orders. We offer both a line-item type of PO and a big text field description type of PO so that you can use whichever you prefer depending on the circumstances. The screenshots below show the same PO, one in each view.

This is a good start. We used templates until we had so many invoices that we had to switch to this service.
