Adding a PO Number to a shift gives you a separate invoice for that purchase order, making it easy to match your Croux invoices to your internal POs.
The simple version:
- Each PO number gets its own invoice. Shifts that share the same PO number are grouped together on that PO's invoice.
- Shifts with no PO number are combined onto a single shared invoice, the way they always have been.
Where to add a PO number
You'll find the PO Number field in the Accounting section when you post or edit a shift.
Just enter your purchase order number and post the shift as usual. You can add or update a PO number on a shift by editing it before it's invoiced.
Where the PO number appears
Your PO number shows up in the header of the invoice, alongside the invoice number and dates, so your accounts payable team can reconcile it against your purchase order at a glance.
How invoices are grouped
| Shifts | Result |
|---|---|
| Same PO number | Grouped together on one invoice for that PO |
| Different PO numbers | A separate invoice for each PO number |
| No PO number | Combined onto a single shared invoice |
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to use a PO number?
No. The field is optional. If you leave it blank, your shifts are billed together on one invoice as before.
Can I add a PO number after I post a shift?
Yes, edit the shift and add it in the Accounting section before the shift is invoiced.
Can several shifts share the same PO?
Yes. Any shifts with the same PO number are grouped onto that PO's invoice.
What if I enter the wrong PO number?
Edit the shift to correct it before it's invoiced. If it has already been invoiced, contact support@croux.co and we'll help.
Who should use this?
Any business that tracks spend against purchase orders. If your accounts payable process requires a PO on each invoice, this keeps your Croux billing aligned with it.
