Before you begin
  • Use an account with Administrator or relevant status capability and confirm the intended record or setting before making a change.
  • Follow the exact route above. If the screen or action is absent, check module activation, ownership and permissions rather than using another person’s account.
  • Use controlled test data for configuration, integration, email, AI, payment, portal or automation changes before production-wide use.

Code-backed validations and workflow rules

  • 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.
  • Record access does not automatically grant the dedicated change-status capability.
  • The module supports configured approval routes for purchase requests, orders, returns and FAF flows.

Expected result and verification

  • The supported assign purchase order permissions 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.
