Users can also attach documents to items regardless of Purchase Order status.

Purchase Order Form in any Browser

In the latest release, there is also a new “Mark Final” process, streamlining how purchase orders are finalized. With the new Purchase Order browser interface, all steps to approve and finalize a purchase order are clearly shown in the VIP actions.
