Archive Purchase Orders

Users can archive purchase orders from the New Purchase Orders tab, whether they are issued, approved or cancelled. To access the currently-archived purchase orders, click the Archived Purchase Orders tab.

Notes

After logging into the Trade Portal for the first time, some older Purchase Orders will automatically appear as archived (in the Archived Purchase Orders tab). This is by design, and only the most recently-issued, approved and cancelled purchase orders maintained by the builder's software (BuilderMT's Workflow Management Suite version 4.5 and newer) will appear in the New Purchase Orders tab.

Change orders and variances created by the builder in BuilderMT's Workflow Management Suite version 4.5 and newer will appear as individual purchase orders viewable by the trade user.

It is recommended that the trade's Purchasing user or Administrator manually archive the appropriate purchase orders found in the New Purchase Orders tab after logging into the Trade Portal for the first time.

 

  1. In the purchase order’s row, single-click the Archive icon.

Tip

Hovering the mouse over the icon displays the status of the PO.

 

 

If a user archived a purchase order, the date, time and user who archived it appears in the Archive Date and Archived By columns.
