Exciting Feature Update!

Hi there,

We’re thrilled to introduce a new feature designed to simplify the way you manage Purchase Orders, Work Orders and Variations/Change Orders. Previously, if an item was unintentionally left off a PO, you were required to delete and recreate the entire PO.

Now, like with RFQs in DRAFT status, we've made it so you can easily add extra items from Actual Costings to your existing Purchase Orders and Variations/Change Orders.

We're excited to see this update streamline your workflow, improve your efficiency and keep your projects running smoothly!
