Using Project Filters to Find Unreceived POs in Cetec ERP

On any project, one of the biggest risks to the schedule is purchased material that has not arrived yet. If your team cannot quickly see which purchase orders are still open against a project, it becomes hard to plan work, update customers, and decide what to do next.

Cetec ERP includes PO reports that can be filtered by project so purchasing and project managers can see all unreceived POs in one place. Instead of tracking separate PO numbers in multiple tabs, you can pull a single report that shows every purchased but unreceived item tied to a specific project.

Filter PO Reports by Project

To use project filters effectively, first link sales orders to a project record with a clear project name or number. Once those orders are associated to a project, any POs created from those orders carry the same project value, which you can use as a filter on PO reports.

On the PO report screen in Cetec ERP, enter the project identifier in the Project field. For example, if orders 3.1 and 4.1 belong to Project 1, entering "1" in the Project field pulls back all POs tied to that project. The result is a single report that lists every open PO on that project that has been placed but not fully received.

From there, your team can sort or filter further by vendor, promise date, or status to focus on the POs that put the project at risk. Having this project-specific view helps you prioritize which suppliers to follow up with and which receipts to watch more closely.

Drill Into PO Lines Waiting for Receipt

In many cases, you also need to know which individual PO lines have been received and which are still open. Cetec ERP lets you drill into PO details or use a PO lines report, again filtered by project, to see line-level receipt status. This view shows which items are fully received, partially received, or completely unreceived.

With that line-level view, a project manager can quickly identify which materials are blocking work, which receipts are simply waiting to be processed, and where to concentrate follow-up. It also gives purchasing and operations a shared view of what still needs to arrive before the project can be closed.

Key Takeaways

• Use the Project field on PO reports in Cetec ERP to pull a single list of all POs tied to a project that have not been fully received.
• Work from one consolidated report instead of tracking separate PO numbers across multiple browser tabs or spreadsheets.
• Drill into PO lines by project to see which specific items are still open so you can focus follow-up on the parts that affect your schedule.
• Give project managers and purchasing a shared, real-time view of unreceived material so projects can be completed on time.

Conclusion

Project-based PO reporting in Cetec ERP gives your team a clear picture of which purchased materials are still outstanding on a project. By filtering PO and PO line reports by project and reviewing unreceived lines, you gain the information needed to decide next steps and keep projects moving toward completion.
