Instantly view PO status in key Inventory screens to streamline operations.

***

### **Business Value**

* **Faster Decision-Making:** Users no longer need to open each PO to check its status, saving time in daily operations.
* **Process Transparency:** Ensures clear visibility of each PO’s lifecycle, reducing miscommunication and operational delays.
* **Improved Accuracy:** Minimizes errors in processing PRs and POs by providing up-to-date status information at critical touchpoints.

***

### **Use Cases**

* **Purchasing Officer:** Can see at a glance whether POs linked to a PR are pending, approved, or completed—enabling quick follow-up or escalation.
* **Inventory Manager:** While reviewing a specific PO, immediately identifies if the order is still open, in delivery, partially received, or closed.
* **Auditor:** Quickly assesses the state of procurement processes without drilling down into each order’s details.

***

### **Changes**

* #### Inventory → Purchase Requests → Selected PR → Linked POs Pop-up

  * #### In the Linked POs pop-up (accessed from a selected Purchase Request), **display a new column “Status”**.

* Each row in the Purchase Order now shows its current status (e.g., *Draft, Submitted, Approved, Received, Closed*).
