Purchase orders printing issue

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi Guys,

Can anyone let me know how I can get around this issue.

I have purchase order approval process set up on Dynamics 365 and only realising that When a user raise a purchase order, irregardless whether the order has been approved or not, user can print out the purchase order and send purchase order to suppliers. The restriction doesn't restrict user print and send purchase orders.

I tried to add PO Status on the PO layout so when it prints out it shows whether being approved by company or not. But even that failed without luck because when PO being fully approved, the status is "Released", it doesn't mean anything to external party anyway. I need some kindly big print across the PO saying "Cancelled" or "Invalid" after print or preview when PO is not fully approved.  But no idea how to do that.

This is a serious control flaw for us, cos even if the order hasn't approved by us, if we send it out, it will be legally binding for us. It is just too much legal risks here. 

I desperately need some workaround or fix for this.

Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

    Hi rs1249,

    Thanks for sharing the scenario.

    Unfortunately I cannot offer you a workaround for this. I have created a backlog entry for us to improve(/fix) the workflow process to also include printing/emailing action in a future release.

    Best regards,

    Brian
