Finance > Accounts Payable > Purchase Orders
This update enhances AP Purchase Orders (PO) by separating the Print and Dispatch actions. It is accessible from the Purchase Orders List page or the Purchase Order Details page.
Finance users can now:
Print Purchase Orders without re-dispatching them.
View a clear summary of which Purchase Orders were successfully dispatched and which were not, including the reasons (e.g. invalid or missing email).
Key Features
Separate Print and Dispatch options
Status-based availability
- Print and Dispatch are only available depending on the status of the Purchase Order.
- For example, Authorised and Printed POs allow both Print and Dispatch; On Hold POs do not.
Dispatch behaviour- Dispatch uses the eOrdering email settings saved in the Supplier record.
- If no email or an invalid format is detected, the PO will not be sent.
- Users still receive a PDF download of the PO when choosing Dispatch.
Dispatch summary - The grid supports filtering, grouping, and exporting.
- A one-click Export Summary option allows downloading the results as a PDF.
Audit logging
- New audit events capture whether a PO was printed or dispatched, mirroring existing audit logs.
Additional Notes
This update reduces manual workarounds for reprinting Purchase Orders, preventing suppliers from receiving duplicate orders and providing better visibility on dispatch success/failure.
