Before you decide
Common questions about this application
Does every purchase order use the same approval?
Roles and state transitions are fixed from the business policy; this page does not assume one approval level for every organisation.
What happens when the receipt differs from the order?
The difference stays visible and requires an explicit decision instead of silent completion.
Does every receipt create an accounting entry?
That depends on the approved financial contract and posting policy. Accounting remains the financial writer.
