Use our New Purchase Order and Purchase Requests Feature!
With purchase orders and requests, your company will now have a central place to have your team submit requests for parts, equipment, or inventory that needs to be restocked -- all from within UpKeep, no PDF required.
Here's how it works:
Step 1: A new work order gets submitted to the facility management team.
Step 2: A part is needed to fulfill that particular job.
Step 3: Employee A comes into UpKeep's purchase order portal and submits a Purchase Order (PO) request.
Step 4: The purchasing team gets notified, approves the purchase order request, and sends it to the vendor.
Step 5: The vendor ships the part to your facility.
Step 6: Once the part has been received, mark that in the PO, and then your inventory will be automatically restocked!
To use the feature:
- Go to "Purchase Orders"
- Create "New Purchase Order"
- Fill out the form details
- Select "Submit Purchase Order"
- The purchasing team gets notified to approve or decline
- If the part is approved, once it's received from the vendor the purchasing team marks "Fulfilled"
- Inventory is automatically restocked
