Purchase Order Limits

Modified on Wed, 17 Jan at 4:55 PM

Each iCFM user needs to be given a Purchase Order Limit in order to Authorise a PO. This can be done within the User's Profile, and the limit will determine the maximum amount that the user can Authorise a Purchase Order for. Without a Purchase Order Limit, a User will not be able to authorise a PO at all.


To set the Purchase Order limit for a User:

  1. Go to Admin Options
  2. Select User Information
  3. Open the User ID you'd like to edit
  4. Enter a PO limit in your base currency, or enter 0 to default to the Department PO limits
    (If the User has no upper limit then you still need to enter a limit, we recommend entering 999999)
  5. Click Save
  6. The User will now be able to authorise Purchase Orders up to their limit


When a User tries to authorise a Purchase Order for an amount higher than their limit, an email will be sent to the department contact/s asking for the PO to be reviewed and authorised. If this is the case, then the PO Status will be set to 'Awaiting Authorisation'.
