How to Use Workflow Tags on Purchase Orders

Use workflow tags to show where each purchase order is.

A workflow tag is a label you put on a purchase order (PO) to show where it is, like "Shipped" or "Delayed". It's optional.

Tag a purchase order

  1. Go to ConnectStock, then Purchasing, then Purchase Orders, and open the purchase order. Click Edit.

  2. Click the Workflow Tag box and pick a tag.

  3. Need a new tag? Type its name, click Add New, then click Create. Pick the new tag from the list.

  4. Save the PO.

Change the tag any time as the order moves along.

Some ideas for tags:

  • Deposit Given

  • In Production

  • Shipped

  • Delayed

  • Needs Attention

Find POs by tag

On the Purchase Orders page, click Filter, tick a tag under Workflow Tag, then click Done. Pick "No Tag" to see POs that don't have one yet.

Rename or delete a tag

Go to ConnectStock, then Lists, then PO Workflow Tags. Click More next to a tag to edit or delete it.
