What’s New in Purchase Order Controls

🛠 Planned

We're enhancing Purchase Order (PO) reliability by locking edits once an Item Receipt (IR) is in place—helping ensure clean, auditable, and error-free records.

🔒 Edit Lock After Item Receipt

Once any Item Receipt (partial or full) is recorded against a PO, that PO becomes non-editable. This protects against accidental or unauthorized changes post-receipt.

🔍 Includes Unapproved Receipts

Even if an Item Receipt is still pending approval, the PO will remain locked. This ensures tighter control and eliminates loopholes.

💬 Clear In-System Messaging

Users attempting to edit a locked PO will see this message:

"Purchase Order cannot be edited after an Item Receipt has been recorded."

🕐 Editable Until First Receipt

POs remain fully editable up to the first receipt—giving teams flexibility during early procurement stages.
