### 

#### Who uses this feature

- Technicians
- Applies to all business types

#### Feature configuration

- The Field Mobile App is optimized for iOS, iPadOS, and Android phones and tablets. For more, see [System requirements and mobile app information](/v1/docs/system-requirements).
- If you're using the Field Mobile App and need support, please contact [Technical Support](http://go.servicetitan.com/ask) (through the office) or reach out directly to [support@servicetitan.com](mailto:support@servicetitan.com).
- The *Create purchase order* and *Edit purchase order in pending status* permissions are required to use this feature. Please contact the account administrator on your team.

## Things to know

- In Commercial terminology, jobs are referred to as work orders.
- To complete certain workflows, the following is required. Please contact the account administrator on your team:
  - The [Purchase Order Type](/construction/docs/set-up-purchase-order-types) must have *Display to technicians* enabled to edit POs and see them in the *PO Type* list selection in the Field Mobile App.
  - The [Purchase Order Type](/construction/docs/set-up-purchase-order-types) must have *Allow permitted technicians to send and receive POs of this type* enabled to send and receive POs in the Field Mobile App.
- If the *Purchase order receipt photo required* permission is enabled, you must upload a receipt for POs.
- You can only edit a PO only if it's in *Pending* status.
- You can also [receive purchase orders](/v1/docs/receive-purchase-orders-in-fma) in the Field Mobile App.
- Purchase orders can be created and edited on completed jobs. Equipment and materials added to a purchase order on a completed job are reflected on the invoice, including markup if applicable. If a completed job's invoice was previously exported, a discrepancy is noted for office reconciliation when the purchase order is saved. For more on completed-job workflows, see [Add estimates, notes, and more to completed jobs in the ServiceTitan Field Mobile App](/construction/docs/add-estimates-notes-and-more-to-completed-jobs-in-servicetitan-field-mobile-app).
- If your account is configured for it, ServiceTitan automatically reserves a PO number when you create a new PO, so you have the correct number before you submit.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Account configuration is required to use this feature. Please contact your office for details.
