Variance Purchase Orders

The Variance Purchase Order List shows all vendor variance purchase orders in three distinct categories:

Column Status represents the current status of the activity
1. indicates the PO has been released
2. indicates the PO is approved for payment
3. indicates the PO is invoiced
4. indicates the PO is cancelled
5. indicates a check has been issued

Each list allows vendors the flexibility to sort and navigate to locate variance purchase order and job information.

To locate/ view variance purchase orders:

1. From any of the lists, use the built-in grid sorting tools to locate specific variance purchase orders:

• Click column headings to sort data by a particular value. For example, to sort purchase orders by activity, click the Activity header.

• Select and drag a column header into the open space at the top of the grid to group purchase orders under a particular heading. For example, to view purchase orders by job, drag the Job or the Address field to the top.

• To view the list by a particular value, drag the column heading to the left, so that the data value appears first on the grid.  

• To reset the lists, either click the VPO link at the top of the page again, or try the Internet Explorer® (IE) Refresh button.

2. Select the job ID link to access the Job Info dialog with additional information about the job, including job documents, released purchase orders, and the comprehensive Home Selection Sheet [from the HSS icon].

3. From the Job Info dialog, double-click any of the job documents to open the file.

4. To view a specific purchase order document, click the individual PO links from the Job Info dialog or the VPO link from the main Variance Purchase Order List.

5. Click the HSS icon to view a comprehensive Home Selection Sheet that lists options and customer-specific colors and finishes.

6. A yellow flag visible to the left of the job column indicates a note was added regarding this VPO by the superintendent. Hovering over the flag with your mouse will reveal the message.

7. A red flag visible to the left of the job column indicates that the activity is complete, but has not been approved for payment by the superintendent. A note has been written by the superintendent and appears on the “What’s New” page in the variance purchase order section. Hovering over the flag will reveal the message.
