There could be instances when you will have to amend an already approved order in your system. A certain type of order may require amending for example, a construction project may increase in cost, or a blanket purchase agreement may require amendments to stock quantity. These types of orders are beneficial to have under one PO number, as well as being able to view the audit logs all in one place.
Follow this guide to learn how to activate amendments to a layout and how to make the line changes yourself.
