Quickly filter and review purchase orders by their authorization status using a new smart filter and column in the PO list.

## **Business Value**

* Allows finance, procurement, and audit teams to instantly identify POs awaiting approval, partially authorized, or fully processed.
* Reduces approval delays by making pending POs visible at a glance.
* Supports compliance and process transparency for all hotel purchases.

***

## **Use Cases**

* The procurement officer filters all POs still needing authorization to remind department heads.
* The financial controller selects only “Fully Authorized” POs for payment processing and auditing.
* Night audit or compliance reviews quickly locate all POs with incomplete approvals before closing the period.

***

## **How-To & Logic**

### **New Filter: Authorization Status**

* In the PO list, a new **Authorization Status** filter is available (autocomplete, multi-select).
* Filter options:
  * **Pending Authorization:** All line items are not fully authorized (not approved or rejected).
  * **Partially Authorized:** Some line items are fully authorized, others are not.
  * **Fully Authorized:** All line items are fully authorized (approved or rejected).
* Items with no authorization workflow are treated as **Fully Authorized**.
* Closed line items do not affect the authorization status—they are ignored.
* If the PO status is “Closed” (all line items closed), it is always considered **Fully Authorized**.
