# Patch 22.6.1.260210 - Module: Purchase Order Management

Optional Add-On Module for the creation, management, tracking and monitoring of the lifecycle of Purchase Orders as they relate to Contracts.

**PURCHASE ORDER MANAGEMENT** **ENHANCEMENTS**

**ENHANCEMENT:** **Link Requests to Existing Purchase Orders** *Reference #: 260210.365.24902*

Users with permission now have the ability to **link a Request to an existing Purchase Order (PO)**. Previously, Requests could only be linked to Contracts—this enhancement expands the Request workflow and improves traceability between Requests and downstream purchasing activity.

This new functionality helps organizations better manage their procurement lifecycle and maintain a complete audit trail between Requests and Purchase Orders.

## ***View Linked Purchase Orders***

On a Request record, under the **Linked Records** tab, you will now see a list of any Purchase Orders linked to that Request.

If the Request was originally created **from** a PO, the link will appear automatically and **cannot be removed** to ensure data integrity.

### ***Link a Request to an Existing Purchase Order***

You can now attach additional Purchase Orders to a Request:

1. Open a Request record
2. Select **View All Actions**
3. Under **Manage Records**, choose **Link to Purchase Order**
4. Use the search page to find the PO you want to associate
5. Click **Link**

You will be returned to the Request’s details page with the linked PO now displayed.

### ***Remove a Linked Purchase Order***

If a PO was linked manually, you can remove it:

- Go to the **Linked Records** tab
- Click **Delete** next to the PO you want to unlink
- Confirm the removal on the pop‑up prompt

(Reminder: POs that originated the Request cannot be removed.)

*How will this affect users?*

This enhancement provides:

- Better visibility into the relationship between Requests and Purchase Orders
- A more complete view of procurement activity
- A more flexible workflow that supports real‑world processes

Clients now have a more seamless and traceable link between Requests and the purchasing operations that follow.
