Procurement

The Procurement page is where you price, buy, and track the products on a project.

Before you start

Pick a project first. With no project picked, the page says Select a project to view procurement data.

Five tabs

Quotes

Price products for your client. Click New Quote, or use AI Import to read a vendor quote PDF. Click a row to open a side drawer with the details and actions. Use Archived to see quotes you put away.

Proposals

Bundle one or more quotes into one proposal for your client. You can share it with a link or download a PDF.

Purchase Orders

Order products from a manufacturer. Click New PO, or use AI Import to read a vendor quote or PO. You can also make POs from a quote with Generate POs.

Get help from the agent

The Procurement Agent bar sits at the bottom of the page. Tell it what you want in plain words. It asks before it changes anything.

Common questions

Where do I start? Most people start with a quote. Then they make a proposal for the client, and POs for the manufacturers.

Can I undo an archive? Yes. Click Archived, open the quote, and click Unarchive.
