Purchase order tracking that stays on the job
POs are where committed cost comes from. If they float outside the job, you only find out what was ordered after someone asks why margin looks thin.
LiteLedger ties purchase orders to jobs and tracks receiving at the line level. You see what is still open, what has hit actual, and how that rolls into the job total.
Committed cost you can trust
When lines are partially received, the job reflects that. You are not guessing committed vs actual from a vendor portal and a spreadsheet column that never got updated.
Here's what that looks like in practice.
Purchase Order Tracking
| Item | Vendor | Ordered | Received | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steel Plate | MetalWorks | 10 | 10 | $2,500 |
| Bolts | FastenCo | 500 | 300 | $600 |
| Laser Cut Parts | NorthFab | 12 | 0 | $1,850 |
Committed cost is visible before every line is fully received.
