 <\/p>\n

The Purchase Options<\/strong> button in the fixed bar below the Work Items<\/strong> tab of a construction contract creates a ready purchase document from the materials you select, without re-entering the materials, their quantities, and units. Use it when you want to buy the contract’s materials from suppliers, whether you start the cycle with a purchase request or jump directly to a purchase order or a purchase invoice. This guide explains when the button appears, the available documents and the permission for each, what transfers from the contract, and the messages and restrictions.<\/p>\n
