Checking status of PO

*Any time someone comes from the shop asking about glass/hardware etc. for a job, here’s how you would find the correct PO.

*Open Invoices and POs, press Ctrl+O to search.

*Make sure you are on ‘P.O. Number’, enter the Job number, followed by the corresponding letter (D for door, often fire rated, G for glass, H for hardware, M for moulding, R for radius jambs, S for sills, T for tooling).  If there is any potential for duplicates, or to look up everything related to that number, use the ‘Find’ button at the bottom, (enter just the numbers).

*Double click on the desired result.  Check for Order ETA under the ETA tab, and also note any history under the memo.  If you have any details to add, use today’s date (at the beginning of the field) ; newest date should be on top, with things on the day from top to bottom, as you would read.

*If one of the guys is requesting updated info, mark who needs it, and ask the vendor for new ETA (call, or reply to original email placing the order).  When they respond, put their response in the memo (new date, on top, if they respond on a later date), and pass update on to whoever requested it (if it is Nathan or Tim, you can email, otherwise in person).
