The value in the delivery feature enables your organization to track when and how much you’ve received from the vendor/supplier for a purchase order item. More importantly, it’s streamlined for your crew to be assigned to deliveries for job’s, so that they can confirm e.g. receive the delivery on the job site. Within the Confirming a Delivery section you’ll see how easy it is for your crews to see all the deliveries they’ve been assigned by job and then confirm the delivery. Again this streamlines a key supply chain process between office staff, crew’s and vendor’s.

Adding a new Delivery
Purchase Order Item deliveries can be created for Job and Inventory Purchase Orders. We’ve done a lot to streamline and automate the process for adding deliveries per purchase order item. For example, when you add a new delivery to a purchase order of type job we will automatically do the following for you:
- The delivery will automatically be associated with the Job linked to the Purchase Order
- The delivery location Type will be set to the job
- Delivery Location will automatically be selected based on the Job Site associated with the Job linked to the Purchase Order
- We will get the crews you likely want to assign the delivery to. In the select list, you will see categories based on the crews scheduled, estimated, and not assigned to the job.
Note the Delivery Qty Summary can be used to help you determine the delivery qty.
Whenever you add a new delivery the status will automatically be set to Pending, whenever the delivery is Received the status will be set based on qty Received.

- Partially Received
- When the quantity received is less than the delivery quantity, but greater than 0
- Over Received
- When the quantity received is greater than the delivery quantity
- Not Received

Delivery Files

Deleting a Delivery
Deleting a delivery is an easy action that users can execute on the delivery listing or delivery tab screen. The option is available under Right Click Context Menu. This will:

Updating an Existing Delivery
When updating an existing delivery if the delivery qty changes for a non-pending delivery we will automatically update the status for you. Imagine the following scenario: the person creating the delivery entered 1 instead of 10, then the crew confirms the delivery and the vendor tells them the delivery was supposed to be 10. The office staff then updates the delivery qty from1 to 10, meaning the delivery status needs to be updated from "Over Received" to "Received."
