What are the life cycle stages of a Purchases order?

The purchase order progresses through various stages, each documented via the status field on the list screen. 

  • Initially, when a purchase order is created, its status is set to "PO Generated." 
  • Once the purchase order is sent to the supplier, either by printing or emailing, the system updates the status to "Ordered." 
  • Upon arrival of the ordered products, users manually mark items as received, indicating whether they're fully received or partially received
  • If any items are placed on Backorder, users denote them accordingly. 

This systematic approach helps track the life cycle of each purchase order efficiently.
