Set Purchase Order Limits

Set Purchase Order Limits

A Purchase Order (PO) is an internal authority to spend money and instruct suppliers.

In JobBag, you can:

• ✅ Control who can raise POs
• ✅ Set approval and amend limits for staff who create POs

Who Can Set PO Limits

To set dollar limits, users must have the correct privileges.

Ensure the PO Limits privilege is enabled for your user group:

Navigate to:

File > Administration > Users Maintenance > Administration Group > Edit

Category: Purchase Orders

☑️ Tick the privilege to Set PO Limits

Set Dollar Limits

Once the privilege is enabled, you’ll see the “Limits” icon in the PO listing window.

Navigate to:

Costings > Purchase Orders

Click the Limits icon in the toolbar.

Setting Limits for Staff

• If a staff member can create POs, but cannot approve them:

  → You can only set a creation limit.

• If a staff member can create and approve POs:

  → You can set both creation and approval limits.

📝 Note: If no privilege to approve POs is granted, the approval column will be unavailable.
