FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about Work Orders

Can’t find an answer to your question? Get in touch.

How do Not-To-Exceed (NTE) limits work?

You can set NTE limits for certain trades by entering a Not To Exceed Limit (amount) and currency. You can change these limits at any time, which will leave an audit trail. 

The NTE Optimization Dashboard is designed to help you optimize the not-to-exceed amounts (or NTEs) configured to your trades. It shows you the percentage of invoices that were within 95% of your NTE, helping you understand the effectiveness of NTEs from both an operational and a financial standpoint.
