Your first 15 minutes

From signup to your first IPC — a quick lap of the app.

You just created your firm on Aayu. Here's the order most teams find natural for getting up and running.

1. Create your first project

From the dashboard, click + New Project. Set the contract value, start/end dates, and the state — the state determines GST jurisdiction (intra/inter-state) for every PO and IPC raised under this project.

2. Add a vendor or two

Go to /procurement → + Add vendor. Validate the GSTIN format inline; tick MSME if applicable so the 45-day payment rule kicks in. Bulk-import via CSV is also available.

3. Issue a PO

Same page → Issue PO. The dialog accepts BOQ-linked or inventory-linked line items, computes GST split based on vendor + project state, and writes the PO with status DRAFT until you issue it.

4. Record receipt + raise IPC

When goods arrive, click Record GRN on the PO row to record the receipt. When the work is done and you're ready to bill the client, hit Raise IPC from the project page or /billing.

5. Invite your team

Last — Settings → Invitations. Add your QS lead, your finance person, your site engineers. Each invite picks a role; roles control which modules they can read or write.

The dashboard shows a Get started checklist that tracks all 5 steps and self-hides once they're done.
