Before you start
  • Use an account with purchase_orders capability and purchase-order status capability where applicable and confirm the intended record or setting before making a change.

Rules the system enforces

  • Purchase-order status changes require the dedicated purchase_order status capability.
  • Delivery states include Undelivered, Pending delivered, Partially delivered and Completely delivered.
  • Project can be mandatory when pur_order_project_required_condition is enabled.
  • Online retrieval depends on the configured external rate source and a successful HTTP response.
  • Check a rate before recalculating live financial documents.

How to confirm it worked

  • The supported choose purchase-order currency and rate flow completes without bypassing permission or validation checks.
  • The resulting record, setting, status, file, delivery event or external response is visible from the relevant workspace.
  • Unexpected validation, provider or linked-record errors are investigated before retrying.

Security, privacy and operational checks

  • Apply least privilege to purchasing, vendor, invoice, payment, return, contract and report permissions.
  • Verify vendor identity, bank/payment details, tax, currency, totals and approvals before creating financial commitments.
  • Treat public links, signatures, portal files, attachments and exported reports as controlled business records.
  • Test settings and automated jobs with controlled records before production-wide use.
