Note: If you already have Ferguson‑integrated materials in your catalog, you can skip Steps 1–3 and start at Step 4.
🟠 Path A — New to Ferguson Items | ✅ Path B — Items Already in Catalog |
Haven't added them to your catalog yet | Ferguson materials are already imported |
Your Ferguson materials aren't in your Ply catalog yet. You'll need to browse the Ply Library, add items to a Draft List, then import to catalog before creating the PO. | Your Ferguson materials are already in your Ply catalog. Skip the Library steps and go straight to creating the PO from your catalog. |
→ Follow all 7 steps | → Jump to Step 4 |
➡️Step 1: Ply Library + Your Ferguson Account
Navigate to the Ply Library.
Go to Account
Confirm you are working in the correct region, account, job, or contract.
Pricing and availability may vary by region, job, or contract. Verifying this upfront ensures the correct prices flow through to your purchase order.
⚠️Verify this before browsing — pricing varies by context
The region, account, and contract you have selected directly affect the prices shown in the Library. If you order under the wrong account or branch, the PO will be placed at incorrect pricing that may not match your actual agreement.
➡️ Step 2: Add Materials from the Ply Library to Draft List
Browse or search for the materials you need.
Select the materials and add them to the Draft List.
The Draft List functions like a shopping cart where you can stage materials before adding them to your catalog.
📌What is the Draft List?
The Draft List is a temporary staging area — like a shopping cart. Items sit here until you review them and import them into your Catalog. Nothing is ordered or committed yet at this stage.
➡️ Step 3: Import Materials from Draft List into Your Business Catalog
Open your Draft List.
Select the materials you want to import.
Enter required details such as location and any editable fields.
When everything looks correct, click Import to Catalog.
Once imported, the materials are now part of your Business Catalog and ready for purchasing.
➡️ Step 4: Create a Purchase from Your Catalog
Go to your Business Catalog.
Select the materials you want to order.
Click Create Purchase Order.
💡 Path B starts here
If your Ferguson materials were already in your catalog, this is where you begin. Skip steps 1–3 and start from your Catalog directly.
➡️ Step 5: Fill Out Purchase Order Details
Complete all required purchase order details (e.g., delivery location, quantities, dates).
When selecting a supplier, make sure to choose Ferguson Integrated supplier.
Make sure to select the correct Ferguson account location.
⚠️Select "Ferguson Integrated" as the Supplier — Critical Step
Choosing the wrong supplier type means the order won't go through the integration
🚨 Always select "Ferguson Integrated" — not plain "Ferguson"
You may see a standard "Ferguson" supplier option in Ply. Selecting that one sends the PO as a regular email — it does NOT go through the integration. Only "Ferguson Integrated" routes the order directly to Ferguson's Trilogie system and notifies your sales associate.
➡️ Step 6: Final Review
Review all purchase order details carefully.
Confirm materials, quantities, locations, and supplier information.
Use “Previous” button to go back and make any necessary edits before submitting.
➡️ Step 7: Send the Purchase Order to Ferguson
Click Create & Send button to submit the purchase order to Ferguson.
You can track the Purchase order on the Purchase Order tracker.
➡️ What Happens Next?
The purchase order is sent directly to Ferguson’s Trilogie system.
Your assigned Ferguson sales associate is automatically notified via email.
💡What is Trilogie?
Trilogie is Ferguson's internal ordering and distribution platform. When a PO goes through the integration, it enters Trilogie directly — the same system Ferguson uses internally to process and fulfill orders.
Your Ferguson‑integrated purchase order is now successfully submitted and in progress.
