iBinder Purchasing
I will now show you how to start a purchasing binder in our system.
From the bookshelf I start a new purchasing binder.
I enter the name and description.
Then I choose a close by date, the demo option and a red binder.
The difference between a purchasing binder and a project binder are three tabs.
Recipients, Publish and amend and Tenders.
These are locked to prevent others from accessing the information.
Just as in the project binder I can choose the tabs for my binder.
I click the function on the right.
I choose drawings, administrative regulations, messaging and descriptions.
I could upload the documents myself, but I want to invite a consultant to upload the drawings needed.
I do that in the participants tab.
Just like in projects I can search for, in this case, Emil.
To give Emil access to upload drawings, I assign him that role.
I mark the checkbox and give him access to Electricity.
Now Emil can start uploading his documents.
Emil submits his documents
Now I have received a message from Emil that he is done.
I open the purchasing binder and find the documents there.
For instance here are the drawings.
The next step is to invite the suppliers that will send the quotes.
I open the Recipients tab.
With the help of saved lists within my organization, I can easily invite the suppliers to this binder.
The final step is publishing the binder.
In the Publish and Amend tab there is a button for sending this request for quotes to the recipients.
After I have published the binder, I can follow the activities of the recipients.
The recipients are marked with a green check mark as soon as they have opened the binder.
That's how simple it is to start a new purchasing binder.
