The part ordered, without ringing the office.

Partway through a field service job, the engineer asks for the part on WhatsApp. Centrus prices it from the supplier's list and raises the PO against the job. Under your limit it goes straight to the supplier; over it, the approver says yes first.

Your rules, on every PO.

Dylan's pump went straight to Wolseley because it was under the limit. This is where that limit lives, and what happens over it.

Questions about POs from the van

You do. The rules sit in an agent you describe in Agent Builder: the limit, the approver, and any rules for suppliers, job types or engineers. Change them in a sentence, and every run is logged.

The approver is emailed the part, the price, the job and who asked. The PO is raised and sent only after they reply yes, and the agent checks that nobody approves their own request.

On the job in BigChange, Joblogic or Simpro, or in Xero, so it is there when the supplier's invoice arrives. Centrus raises it in the system you already use rather than keeping a separate list.

From your supplier price lists, trained as files. The engineer sees the list price and the list it came from before saying yes, so nothing is ordered at a price nobody checked.

Yes. Once it is raised, the PO is emailed to the supplier for collection or delivery, and the engineer gets the number on WhatsApp to quote at the counter. It stays on the job, so finance sees it with the week's other POs.
