A contract with only a black meter is serviced by an agent. The agent has negotiated a minimum charge for the contract. At the time of billing the customer, raise a purchase order for the amount expected to be billed by the agent.

Jim2 can create a consolidated, separate third party PO per single contract, or even per master contract. This is a global setting and can be overridden by a the Group PO By Project Method setting on the Vendor tab of the cardfile. In particular cases, a contractor could be set up for single third party PO's for each contract or master.

 

group by PO

<Default> – as set up in Tools > Options > Contracts > Managed Print Services

Consolidated – All purchase order lines for a particular period are added to the same purchase order.

Single – Each contract has its own purchase order created.

Master – Contracts of a single master contract will be added to their own purchase order. Standalone contracts are treated as though the setting is Single.
