Budgeting

PR → PO → RFP

Budgeting

The procurement papers raised against an approved proposal budget: Purchase Requests ask, Purchase Orders commit, the Request for Payment compiles itself.

How to use this page

  1. 1 Budgeting opens grouped By Proposal: each proposal with its Budget, Committed and Remaining chips, its PR → PO chains, and a New PR button while budget remains.
  2. 2 Group By › Normal switches to lanes: My budget requests, For Approval, Involved (chains you sit on), Other budget requests.
  3. 3 New Budget starts a Purchase Request. Pick the proposal, fill the structured form (items, quantities, formula columns), assign signatories, review, submit.
  4. 4 When the PR is approved, create its Purchase Order from the chain: terms are prefilled from the template, vendor and delivery details come from saved presets.
  5. 5 PO approval draws the amount from the proposal budget once; voiding the PO reverses it. Several PR → PO chains can run until the budget is exhausted.
  6. 6 The RFP (Request for Payment) is compiled automatically when a PO is approved — nobody starts it by hand. Every paper exports to Excel and renders to PDF.

Addresses

  • A chain lives at /budget/<uuid> with /pr and /po beneath it; the wizard at /budgeting/create keeps its draft in the URL like proposals do.
  • Unbudgeted proposals record spend without a ceiling; the overview page says so.
