    Hi Aivan, Try using ChatGpt for these queries (which might not be easy to find on google, atleast not a straight answer)

    Also, ChatGPT responses are not correct always :)

    Here's the ChatGPT response

    In Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations (D365FO), the Purchase Order Requester and Purchase Order Orderer roles have different responsibilities when it comes to creating and managing purchase orders.

    The Purchase Order Requester is responsible for initiating the purchase order process by creating a purchase requisition. They typically have a need for goods or services and create a purchase requisition to communicate that need to the purchasing department. Once the purchase requisition is submitted, the purchasing department can then convert it into a purchase order.

    The Purchase Order Orderer is responsible for creating and managing purchase orders in D365FO. They take the approved purchase requisitions and use them to create purchase orders. They can also manage existing purchase orders, make changes to them as needed, and communicate with vendors regarding the orders.

    In summary, the Purchase Order Requester is responsible for initiating the purchase order process by creating purchase requisitions, while the Purchase Order Orderer is responsible for creating and managing purchase orders in D365FO.

    Title changed (from "D365 PO") because it wasn't descriptive enough.
