Raise and receive a PO

Raise from a job​

  1. On the job, open Materials and assign items as Need for job (with an order-by date).
  2. Click Raise PO, pick the supplier, and select the need-order lines.
  3. Create the draft PO — you are taken to the PO detail page.
  4. Click Send order when you have placed the order with the yard. Linked materials move to On order.

Raise from Purchasing​

  1. Open Purchasing → New PO.
  2. Choose supplier and expected date, then add one or more stock lines (material and quantity). Use Add line for more colours or thicknesses on the same order.
  3. Create the draft. On a draft you can still add, change, or remove lines, then Save lines.
  4. Click Send order.

Send the order​

  1. Send order opens a prefilled email (to, subject, and message listing each line). Edit the wording if you need to, then send.
  2. If the supplier has no email on file, CutBench marks the order as ordered without email. Use Print for a paper or phone order.
  3. You can also choose Mark as ordered only from the compose screen if you already contacted the yard another way.

Receive a delivery​

  1. Open the PO from Purchasing and click Mark delivered.
  2. Set an optional bay / location for the drop.
  3. Each slab on a line appears as its own row (for example qty 3 → three rows). Quantity stock (adhesives and similar) stays one row with qty arrived.
  4. Mark each piece Good, Broken, Missing, or Leave on order, then Confirm delivery.
  5. CutBench creates shop codes for good and broken slabs. The same screen shows a large list to write on the edge, plus Print side wraps (and optional yard sheets). You can still change good / broken / missing there if you spot a crack while marking.

Broken slabs are kept as damaged stock (not free for jobs). Missing pieces are recorded without creating a slab. Leave on order keeps that piece open for the next delivery.

Single line​

On each open line you can still click Receive for a one-off fix (enter slab code and sizes for slab-tracked items).

Job materials linked to received good pieces show as in house. You no longer mark “on order” or “received” by hand on the job.
