PO Approval - Approve at PO number level, not line level.

The current view is awkward and unnecessary.   Instead of needing to approve\reject each line of a PO, the user should have a list of each PO number, Date, writer and total amount.  Then give the ability to approve the entire PO.  IF the user wants to approve individual lines they could expand (+) the PO number to see the lines and approve\reject individually.

    Hi Janiel, this item is still in development - changes like these take time.
    I'm not a customer support rep so reaching out through support cases won't lead you to me.

    Thanks!

    Hello Again Kellie,

    has there been any progress with this? Have not seen any updates in the last month and a half. Tried contacting customer support but it seems like this is the best way to reach out to you. Please advise if there is anything I can do to help the process.

    Hello Killie,

    this is absolutely great news! How long does it usually take to implement similar changes. I am available to help with the trial and error process if necessary to fulfill everyone's need.

    Hi Janiel - we are actively working on this item!

    This must be implemented as soon as possible. This feature will highly impact our Purchasing Department. This will allow us to itemize Purchase Orders without drowning project managers with approvals. Also will help us build a report of material purchased per item. When can we expect Viewpoint to actively start working on this?

    Please implement this option, with many POs being very large, this can be very cumbersome.

    Just to keep this thread alive. This is still a MAJOR eyesore to our project managers. There should be consistency on all the approval items.

    This should be linked with Portal Suggestion 992. And escalated from Future consideration.

    This would help with workflow notifications. Each time a user clicks the checkbox to the right of a line, it sends an email. So if the PO has ten line items, ten emails are sent. The only way to avoid is to scrupulously select all the line items for a given PO and use the approve button at the top of the screen.

    Yes, making this similar to the Invoice approval would make sense and solve alot of problems.

    Yes.  We have had all of our Project managers requesting this.  Please implement!!
