Business value
If a purchase order is updated by the vendor you sent it to, you may want to view the history of the order to see what it previously looked like. This is facilitated by this feature, which will enable you to track any purchase order changes and view earlier versions in a standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central archive.
Feature details
With the feature, you'll be able to have your purchase orders archived automatically whenever you register any order updates made by a vendor. The feature will automatically archive the version of each purchase order that exists immediately before any vendor changes are applied. All archived order versions will be stored in the standard Business Central Purchase Order Archive.
Purchase orders will be archived automatically in the following scenarios, depending on the document category:
- PURCHASE category: When you register a Document Capture document as an invoice or a credit memo using the Match & Update Order or Match & Update Return Order registration options.
- PURCHORDER category: When you register a Document Capture document using the Create or Update Order, Update Order, or Update Order Receipt registration options.
