What Is Price on Application?

Price on application (P.O.A) lets an item appear on a customer's quote with "P.O.A" shown in place of a price. It's for items you want the customer to see but can't yet put a figure against — a bespoke cake, a market-priced platter, or a specialist hire you'll confirm with a supplier. Hovering over "P.O.A" on the quote shows a "Price on application" tooltip.

P.O.A Items Are Info-Only Items

P.O.A is an option on Puree's info-only items. An info-only item is a reference line with no quantity and no charge that stays out of your dockets and reports. Previously an info-only item showed its name with an empty price; the P.O.A option fills that space with "P.O.A" instead of leaving it blank.

Turning It On

1. Add or edit an item on a quote to open the item panel.
2. Switch on Info only. The quantity and price fields drop away, since info-only items don't carry a quantity.
3. A sub-toggle appears: Display price as P.O.A. Tick it.
4. Add the item. It shows "P.O.A" in the item builder list and on the customer quote.

The Display price as P.O.A toggle only shows once Info only is on, and it switches off automatically if you turn Info only back off.

Where "P.O.A" Appears

• The online (HTML) quote
• The PDF quote (downloaded or emailed)
• Every styled quote template, each in its own style, with the "Price on application" tooltip

Where It Doesn't Appear

Because every P.O.A item is an info-only item, it's excluded from all dockets (chef, consolidated, driver, beverage, equipment and the event brief), as well as reports and menus. P.O.A is a customer-facing signal only — it never reaches your operational paperwork.

Good Uses

• Bespoke or made-to-order items you'll price once the brief is confirmed
• Market-priced produce whose cost moves with the season
• Specialist hire or sub-contracted services you need to confirm with a supplier
• Optional upgrades you want the customer to know are available, with pricing on request
