Purchase Order Statuses

Abstract

A Purchase Order has a life cycle, from creation, to sending, to the receipt of goods (fully or partially) and completion.

The status icon follows the standard methodology in the system but has some specific additional states to help visually identify at what point in its life cycle

	Part of the order has been received and booked in. There is an outstanding balance for the remainder of the order
	All goods on the order have been received and booked in. The order is complete.
Flashing Blue	A user has manually set the Purchase Order as having an issue

Purchase Order Life Cycle

The below schematic shows the various life cycle stages of a purchase order together with their corresponding states in strokeone.

It is worth noting that between a purchase order being sent, and all of the items on the order being booked in, it is possible to cancel items from the purchase order.
(Assuming the supplier is able to cancel the items)
