Purchasing an Item through MaintenanceDirect

A user can purchase an item on the Add/Update Work Order page, the Add/Update Purchases page, and also the Work Order and Purchase short form pages.

From the Add/Update Work Order page

  • Open an existing work order by searching for it or clicking on the WOID number. If you are entering a new work order, you must save it first before the Grainger Shop Now button appears. *Note: The Grainger Purchase option is not available for work orders in the Closed Status.

  • Click on the Grainger Shop Now button located at the top of the Add/Update Purchases page.

 

 

  • After clicking on the Grainger button, the Grainger.com portal page opens in a new tab. Log into your Grainger.com account, shop for supplies in the catalog, and make your purchases.
  • Once you have submitted your order on Grainger.com, the items will be listed in the Purchase Transactions section of the work order under Pending Orders. You can track the status of your orders from this page.
  • Purchase orders entered during the check out process on Grainger.com will also be captured on the MaintenanceDirect purchase transaction.

 

 

  • Once the order has been completed, a budget code can be applied to your order.

My account has Click2Buy activated, but why don't I have a Grainger Shop Now button visible on my Work Order?

  • The Grainger Shop Now button appears 24-48 hours after you activate Click2Buy.
