💡This article explains how a Project Manager can approve a Vendor

Invoice.

Things to consider

● Reviewing a Vendor Invoice can be done from both the Receipts

table or the Receipt page in BuildOps web.

● We recommend that Project Managers set up a saved Table

View on the Receipts page to easily sort for Receipts where

review is needed.

○ Reorder the columns to display the Vendor Document

Number, Project Manager, and Approval Status towards

the left side of the table for increased visibility.

○ Apply filters as needed to only display Receipts assigned to

a specific Project Manager.

How To Assign A Project Manager To A Purchase

Order

💡Specifying a Project Manager on a Purchase Order allows a user to

filter the Receipts table by Project Manager name during the Vendor

Invoice review process.

When a Purchase Order is created, there is an option to assign it to a

Project Manager. Select a name from the Project Manager dropdown

during step 1 of creating a Purchase Order.

A Project Manager can also be assigned on the Purchase Order page

by editing the Purchase Order and selecting a Project Manager.

Select Vendor Invoice and update the approval status to “Review

Needed”.

Upload the file and fill in the other fields accordingly. Click “SAVE”.

How To Approve A Vendor Invoice From The

Receipts Table

If a Project Manager has been assigned to a Purchase Order, they will

be able to review and approve a Vendor Invoice directly from the

Receipts table if the Vendor Invoice has been added to the Receipt.

To access the Receipts table, hover over Operations → click Receipts &

Bills (under Procurement).

Sort the table by using a saved Table View to search for the specific

receipt, or adjust the filters as necessary.

Click on the Vendor Document Number to view the document.

NOTE: If a Vendor Invoice has been added, the Vendor Document

Number will be underlined which means it is a hyperlink.

Review the image and click the edit pencil (top right of the image).

Update the “APPROVAL STATUS” to Approved. Click “SAVE”.

How To Approve A Vendor Invoice From the Receipt

Page
