Use this screen to manage the supplier action needed for a purchase order (PO). This screen will only load POs with buyer's organization ID for which the user is authorized based on the organization security profile linked to the organization security group associated with the logged-in user. If the logged-in user has the proper authorization for the buyer's organization ID, this screen will display all PO lines regardless of rights to projects and organization rights at the account distribution. In addition, Costpoint will only load POs with vendor ID that matches the vendor ID on the company that the user is logged into.
You can also access this screen by clicking the dashparts on the Supplier Portal Dashboard screen.
