It&#8217;s also the moment things tend to scatter. Sales files the PO in an email thread, the project team starts delivery, and finance builds invoices from whatever it can find. The received PO screen pulls all of that back into one place. It ties the client&#8217;s order to a project and tracks what you&#8217;ve billed, collected, and still have left to bill, which is why it works as the control center of your sales flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eaf6ff; padding: 24px 28px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 32px 0; border: 1px solid #D6ECFA;\">\n<h3 style=\"color: #1d4ed8; margin: 0 0 18px; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.3;\">Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 22px; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.6;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">A received PO is your client&#8217;s formal go-ahead, and it becomes the money hub for everything you bill against that deal.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Linking the PO to a project connects delivery, invoicing, and collections through one reference number.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Built-in limits stop you from billing past the contract value or logging more cash than an invoice is worth.<\/li>\n<li>Six tiles (order total, billed, received, remaining, pending, and overdue) show where every deal stands without a spreadsheet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2><b>What Is a Received PO?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/juntrax.com\/glossary\/received-po\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">received PO<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the purchase order your client sends after accepting your<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/juntrax.com\/glossary\/quotation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quotation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

In Juntrax, that path runs across five screens:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Proposal (optional):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> an internal budget sign-off before anyone commits to a number.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Quotation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the priced quote you send the client.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Received PO:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the client&#8217;s order coming back to you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Invoice:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the bill you raise against that order.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Receivable:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the payment you record when the money arrives.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As each document moves forward, it carries its client, amounts, and line items into the next one. The received PO sits in the middle of that chain, and its position matters. Up to that point, you&#8217;re still proposing, while everything after it happens against a commitment your client has signed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why Your Sales Flow Needs a Control Center<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sooner or later, your client&#8217;s finance team will match every invoice you send against their PO. Plenty of buyers turn that check into a firm rule. Worcestershire County Council, for example, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worcestershire.gov.uk\/sites\/default\/files\/2024-12\/No%20PO%20No%20Pay%20Policy%20%284%29.docx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has operated a &#8220;No Purchase Order, No Pay&#8221; policy since 2015<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and describes the approach as widely used in public and private sectors. Under that policy, the council may return an invoice unpaid if it doesn&#8217;t quote a valid PO number.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For firms in India, late payment adds to the pressure. In its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/atradius.in\/knowledge-and-research\/reports\/b2b-payment-practices-trends-india-2026\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2025 survey of Indian businesses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Atradius found that overdue invoices affected an average 63% of credit-based B2B sales. The same survey put bad debts at an average 7% of B2B invoices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you can control is whether your invoices give a client&#8217;s finance team any reason to hold them. That gets hard when the PO lives in a spreadsheet, because three problems tend to creep in:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Overbilling:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Someone raises an invoice that pushes the total past the PO value, so the client rejects it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Invisible balances:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Nobody can see how much of the contract remains unbilled, and delivered work slips through without an invoice. Over time, that adds up to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/juntrax.com\/blog\/what-is-revenue-leakage\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">revenue leakage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Scattered follow-ups:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your collections team chases invoices one at a time without knowing which client order each one belongs to.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A control center keeps the order, its invoices, and its payments in a single view, which removes all three problems at the source.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Five Jobs the Received PO Screen Does for You<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Linking Every Invoice to a Project<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you record a received PO in Juntrax, you connect it to a project. Every invoice you raise against that order then inherits the same project. Because each bill traces back to a specific job, your project profitability stays accurate without any manual tagging.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Carrying the Quote Forward<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of retyping the deal, you pick the source quotation and let Juntrax fill in the client, address, services, items, and totals. Juntrax then marks that quotation as &#8220;PO Received,&#8221; which stops anyone from converting the same quote twice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Keeping Billing Within the Contract Value<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the check that protects your standing with the client&#8217;s finance team. Juntrax won&#8217;t let you raise an invoice for more than the order&#8217;s remaining balance. It applies the same logic to payments, which can&#8217;t exceed what&#8217;s still outstanding on an invoice. In practice, your invoices line up with the client&#8217;s PO before they ever leave your team.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Showing Where Each Deal Stands<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open the Manage view of any order, and you&#8217;ll see six money tiles above a progress bar. At a glance, they tell you what the client agreed to, what you&#8217;ve billed, what they&#8217;ve paid, and what&#8217;s left. The next section walks through each tile.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Protecting the Audit Trail<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you&#8217;ve raised invoices against an order, Juntrax locks most of its fields. Cancellations also work from the bottom up: a payment blocks its invoice from cancellation, an invoice blocks its order, and an order blocks its quote. As a result, the record your auditor reviews always matches the documents your client received.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eaf6ff; padding: 24px 28px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 32px 0; border: 1px solid #D6ECFA;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong>Related read: <\/strong><a style=\"color: #1d4ed8; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: 600;\" href=\"https:\/\/juntrax.com\/blog\/accounts-receivable-process-complete-guide\/\">How the accounts receivable process works on one connected platform \u2192<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><b>How to Read the Received PO Manage Screen<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Manage screen is where this control center comes together.

If one of those invoices passes its due date, its unpaid share moves into the Overdue tile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Statuses take care of themselves, too.

Since it uses the rate in effect on the day someone logged the work, March&#8217;s hours go out at March&#8217;s rate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Log payments from the Receivables tab:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Once you pick the invoice, Juntrax fills in the client, currency, and amount, and it shows pending and remaining amounts as you type.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Review the tiles each week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0A quick scan of Remaining and Overdue across open orders shows you what to bill next and which clients need a follow-up.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond these steps, two details keep the flow reliable. First, Juntrax locks prices the moment you raise an invoice, so a catalog update next month won&#8217;t rewrite anything you&#8217;ve already sent. Second, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/juntrax.com\/glossary\/timesheet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">timesheets<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and invoices remain separate records, and the Project Billing report places hours and money side by side for each project.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Common Received PO Mistakes and How to Avoid Them<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-built screen still depends on good habits, and a few common slips can quietly undo the control it gives you.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Starting work before recording the PO:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Delivery then runs ahead of the commercial agreement.

If a large balance remains as that date approaches, raise it with the client early.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scope changes deserve extra care, since most fields lock once you&#8217;ve billed against an order. Before you invoice for added work, agree on it with the client through a formal <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/juntrax.com\/glossary\/change-request\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">change request<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Juntrax Fits Alongside Your Accounting System<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juntrax handles the operational project-to-cash layer for services firms, covering quotes, client orders, timesheets, invoices, and collections. Meanwhile, your accounting system (Tally, QuickBooks, Xero, or SAP) remains the book of record for ledgers and statutory filings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For growing firms, this split tends to work well. Project managers and finance share a live view of every deal in Juntrax, and your accountant keeps working in the books they already trust.

The screen links each client order to a project, keeps invoices within the agreed value, and shows every open balance together. That gives sales, delivery, and finance a shared starting point. When your teams begin their week there, billing mismatches surface before the client spots them, and unbilled hours become far easier to catch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The simplest way to start is with your next client PO.

In Juntrax, it links that order to a project and tracks its total, billed amount, payments received, and remaining balance in one view.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What Is the Difference Between a Received PO and a Purchase Order?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A received PO comes from your client and authorizes work you&#8217;ll deliver, so it belongs to your sales flow. A purchase order goes from your firm to a vendor, which places it in your purchases flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Can You Raise More Than One Invoice Against a Received PO?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can raise several invoices against a single order, such as one per month or one per milestone. Juntrax blocks any invoice that would push the total billed past the order&#8217;s remaining balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why Can&#8217;t I Cancel a Received PO?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juntrax keeps an order active while invoices remain open against it. To cancel, reverse the most recent step first by cancelling the payment, then the invoice, and finally the order.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How Is the Remaining Balance on a Received PO Calculated?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The remaining balance equals the order total minus everything billed against it. Pending is a separate figure that shows the amount billed minus the amount received.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Does Juntrax Replace My Accounting Software?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juntrax works alongside your accounting software.
