Purchase Order PDF and Versions
Purchase Order Versions:
Use ION's prebuilt marketplace automation to manage versions.
Every time a purchase order is moved to either "APPROVED" or "ORDERED" (configurable) the purchase order "Version" attribute will be incremented. When you move a purchase order to the "APPROVED" or "ORDERED" status a PDF/XLS of the purchase order is generated and uploaded to the file attachments for that purchase order. The generated document will be titled with the version attribute at the time of order.
