  3. Click the Actions Menu in the PO.
  4. Select Change Order Ref. from the menu.

Your changes will then be applied. Check the PO tab in the corresponding Order for verification.


*Adding POs to Completed Orders

Users will not be able to add a Purchase Order to an Order that has been completed. In circumstances where you need to do this, you will have to create a Change Order in the Order which will change the order status to In Progress status which will allow you to add the PO. When finished you will either need to ship + invoice the remaining items which will allow you to Complete the order again or if there are no items to ship, you can complete the order by simply changing the status back to Complete.
