You can now recall your own Purchase Orders (POs) directly, providing more control over corrections and updates.

How it works

The functionality mirrors our existing setup for expenses. The "Edit" button allows employees to move a PO back to the "Returned" state, unlocking it for editing. If the PO has already gone through approvals, a confirmation prompt will appear to ensure users are aware that re-approval will be required.

  • Quick corrections: Correct mistakes or make updates right after submission.
  • Flexibility: Adjust POs if requirements change without waiting for admin intervention.

This new feature provides an easier, faster way to manage and correct purchase orders as needs evolve.
