Features
Create Task Button
This feature empowers users to generate individual, dedicated tasks for every product line listed within a purchase order. By breaking down a large order into specific tasks, project managers can assign different team members to track the delivery, inspection, or implementation of each unique item independently.
Create All in One Task
For simpler workflows or related procurement items, the module offers a streamlined "All in One" task creation option that bundles multiple products into a single project task. This is particularly valuable when a purchase order consists of several components that contribute to the same objective, allowing the team to manage them under a unified header without cluttering the project dashboard.
Automatic Project Name Assignment
To maintain consistent naming conventions across the system, the module intelligently handles project identification by automatically using the Purchase Order Number as the project name whenever a vendor reference is missing. If a vendor reference is provided, it takes precedence to ensure the project aligns with external documentation, but the fallback to the PO number ensures that every task remains anchored to its source.

1.) Vendor Selection and Project Identification
When preparing a Request for Quotation, the user selects a vendor and can specify a custom name in the Vendor Reference field. This reference acts as the future project title, though the system is designed to intelligently default to the Purchase Order number if this field is left blank, ensuring a project is always correctly categorized.
2.) Task Generation and Smart Button Access
The interface features prominent action buttons that trigger the creation of either individual tasks or a combined task for the entire order. Once the tasks are generated, the smart button widget in the top right corner updates instantly, providing a direct link to the newly created project and its associated tasks.
3.) Granular Product Tracking within Tasks
Each task created from the purchase order automatically includes the specific product details in a dedicated field. This ensures that the person assigned to the task knows exactly which physical item they are responsible for, directly linking the procurement line item to the project's execution phase.
4.) Project Organization by Purchase Order
The project dashboard offers a specialized "Group By" filter that organizes all active projects based on their original purchase orders. This view provides a high-level perspective of work-in-progress, allowing managers to see how different tasks relate to specific vendor commitments and procurement cycles.
5.) Vendor and Customer Mapping
The system automatically maps the purchase order vendor as the project customer, ensuring that all financial and contact information carries over correctly. This synchronization maintains a clear relationship between the external supplier and the internal project structure, keeping all relevant metadata in one place.
6.) Centralized Task Management View
Clicking the "Task" smart button reveals a comprehensive list view of every task linked to the specific purchase order. This overview displays assignees, deadlines, and current stages, giving users a centralized hub to monitor the status of an entire order's fulfillment without leaving the purchase module.
7.) All-in-One Task Consolidation
By utilizing the "Create All In One Task" functionality, the system generates a single entry point for managing multiple procurement lines. This approach is ideal for keeping the project workspace clean while still ensuring that every product from the vendor reference is accounted for within the task's scope.
8.) Mapping Existing Projects
Shows the mapping of an existing project with a purchase order for efficient task tracking.
9.) Single Task with Multiple Products
A single task is created, encompassing different products from the purchase order, streamlining task management.
