How we raise purchase orders at Bracknell Forest Council
The local finance steps that sit either side of what this site does.
This page is written by us rather than by the software, and it describes what happens at our end. The user guide covers the site itself.
Raise your purchase order in your own finance system first, then enter the number at checkout. It travels with every line of the order into our ledger and appears on the invoice, so entering it at the point of ordering saves an amendment later.
Where an order has already gone out without one, tell us the order reference in the help bubble and we will add it before the next finance run. Where an invoice is already wrong, we correct it with a credit note rather than by removing the order, because the accounts have to keep saying what happened.
