This is a company-level cost BP sub-type that you can use to track and control costs at the company level above the CBS level. It is independent of a budget or cost sheet and is used for tracking non-CBS expenses across projects. It does not use a workflow.
Use this BP to commit a money amount to a specific vendor. Primavera Unifier then validates and enforces spends against this amount.
At the company level, Primavera Unifier users can create a blanket PO business process and store it in the Company Data Manager. They can then set up project-level Commit and Change Commit BPs to reference the blanket purchase order, and charge against the remaining balance of the blanket PO.

For these business processes to work effectively in Primavera Unifier, you will need to create the following components in uDesigner:
