# Link a PO to a Contract Record

**COBBLESTONE SOFTWARE**

Contract Insight — User Guide

**Link a PO to a Contract Record**

*Module: Purchase Orders › Purchase Order Details › Link a PO to a Contract Record*

**Note:** Each procedure in this guide begins at the Contract Insight homepage, so any section can be followed on its own. Custom fields are configurable, so the exact field list on a contract category record may vary between environments.

# 1. Overview

The same relationship can be created from the contract's side: a contract record's Actions menu includes **Link Contract** (Manage Record Actions group), and once a purchase order is linked, it shows up on the contract's Linked Records tab as a **Purchase Orders** entry, alongside a **PO / Spend Against Budget** widget that totals linked POs against the contract's budget.
