Vendor Purchase Order (Overview)

Vendor Purchase Orders (VPOs) must always be associated to a specific Build Plan (BP) and therefore Site, Project, etc.

For purchases unrelated to a specific BP, you will use either:

• Cash-On-Delivery (COD) Purchase
• Material Purchase Request (MPR)

Goods and Services ordered from Third-Party Vendors in relation to a Build Plan (BP) should always be ordered with the FieldCLIX Vendor Invoice Management (VIM) Purchase Order (PO), with few exceptions.

Using VPOs streamlines the VIM processes because:

• VIM POs are automatically Financially Distributed.
• This means that when the Vendor’s invoice is received neither the Invoice Validator, nor the Invoice Approvers need to manually do Financial Distribution.
