Vendor Guide to Purchase Orders

This article explains how POs work from the vendor perspective.

How Vendors See POs

Vendor-Specific PO

If a PO is assigned to a specific vendor:

• Only that vendor can see and use it.

Unassigned PO

If no vendor is assigned:

• All vendors on the matter can use it.

Submitting Invoices with a PO

If POs exist on a matter:

• Vendors must select a PO from the dropdown when submitting an invoice.

If no POs exist:

• Vendors can submit invoices without a PO.

LEDES Requirements

• LEDES 98BI → PO required if assigned

• LEDES 98B → PO not required

Brightflag can enforce PO requirements by restricting the account to LEDES 98BI only.
