Standard Operating Procedures
Apply a PO Against a Maintenance Project
PURPOSE:
There is no difference between a Purchase Order that is applied against a Maintenance Project Work Order and any other type of Work Order. The impact the PO has on the Maintenance Project costs is documented here.
PROCEDURE:
All Purchase orders should arrive in AiM via a loading process or an integration with KFS. While those remain in development, POs can be added manually to AiM to track costs against projects.
