Purchase orders

The material order is already in the takeoff

You measured the quantities to price the job. A purchase order is those same quantities pointed at a supplier instead of a client — so Cloer writes it rather than making you type it again.

STEP 1

Pick the trade

One trade or the whole job. Only lines that carry material cost appear; labour isn't something you order.

STEP 2

Name the supplier

PO number, supplier, and scope go in the header block. Your letterhead is already on it.

STEP 3

Send it

Download the PDF or email it. The quantities match the estimate exactly, because they came from it.

What's on it

  • Material cost only — your markup is never shown to a supplier
  • Scoped to one trade or the full job
  • Quantities straight off the takeoff
  • PO number and supplier reference block
  • Terms on partial shipments, tax, and delivery

Questions

Does the supplier see what I'm charging the client?
No. A purchase order prices at your material cost with markup stripped out. That's deliberate — the client price has no business being on a document you hand a supplier.
Which plan includes purchase orders?
Crew and Studio. The entry plan covers the documents you send a client; purchase orders sit with the ones you send your trades.

One plan read produces all of it

The takeoff measured the job once. Every document below comes off those same numbers.
