If you have workers who need to generate POs during a production, you can enable them from the project’s *Purchase orders* dashboard.

When a project worker is allowed to create POs, they can:

- Create new POs
- View POs they’ve created
- See the total dollar amount of their POs
- See POs that are awaiting invoice, paid, and unpaid
- Export POs to HotBudget or Showbiz

To allow workers to create POs:

1. From the left-side navigation, click the dropdown menu
2. Select the name of the project that you want to enable worker purchase orders for
3. In the project dashboard’s *Purchase orders* overview, click **View POs**
4. On the *Purchase Orders* page, click the **Enable workers** button
5. In the *Enable purchase orders for workers* popup, click the checkbox next to each worker you want to enable
6. When you’re finished making your selections, click the **Save Permissions** button
