Create a User who will raise Purchase Orders

1. Setup a User and their Details

Click here for the steps to set up the new User.

On the Details tab.

• User code: We'd suggest a code composed of First Name and Last Name, separated with a full stop to avoid any duplicates in your business, e.g. JIM.JONES.
• First name & Last name: Enter the person's first name and last name in these fields, e.g. Jim & Jones.
• User description: When you have saved the new record for this User, the First name and Last name fields are combined into the User description field and will display as the first and last names, e.g. Jim Jones.
• Email: Enter their work email address, e.g. jimjones@lentune.com.

2. Staff tab

The next step it to set up the fields on the Staff tab. Refer to Staff Settings to read more details.

• Staff Active: This defaults to Yes. Ensure that it is set to Yes.
• Branch access only (restricted to branch address): This defaults to No. Please DO NOT toggle the Branch Access only to Yes. This is a specific setting for our ERP customers.

The mandatory fields to set up are:

• Default Branch: This determines the Branch that will be used as the default when this User creates Purchase Orders. However, it is not restrictive and the Branch can be changed on a Purchase Order if required.
• Email Signature: This is an optional field. When set up, the signature populates when sending Purchase orders and other communications that are sent out by email by this User.

3. Access Persona and Security tab

When you first set up a User, the tab is labelled Security. When you click this tab, you can now see two tabs for Access Persona and Security.

A. Access Persona

Your business set up will determine the Access Personas available. The Access Persona for a Purchase Order Raiser will determine the value of a Purchase Order that the User can raise without it requiring approval.

On the Access Persona tab > Quick add access grants section:

• Access Persona: Select the relevant Access Persona.
• Branch / Project: Then apply the Access Persona either to a specific Branch, or to a specific Project.

B. Security

For your new Purchase Order User, you can now select the Security Role that they require.

On the Security tab > Quick add security group section:

• Security group: Select Purchase order module (PORAISER) from the dropdown list. This group contains the Security Roles needed for your User to allow them access the Purchase Order module.
• Click Save and close.
