US Patent 10311528 Closed network PO detail communication

A method includes receiving, from a builder, a purchase order (PO) that includes information descriptive of a product to be provided by a vendor in association with construction of a home. A first identifier specific to the builder may be used to identify the product. The method includes determining whether the PO is a configured PO, and generating a first alert when the PO is a non-configured PO. The method includes providing the first alert to the builder and the vendor. When the builder views the alert, the builder may be prompted to configure the PO using builder specific information. When the vendor views the alert, the vendor may be prompted to configure the PO using vendor specific information. Mapping information may provide translation of the builder specific information to the vendor specific information and translation of the vendor specific information to the builder specific information.
