Ability to reopen Vendor Orders (VO)
We have now provided the Dealership with the ability to reopen Vendor Order (VO), after they have been submitted
The new action to reopen Vendor Orders (VO) will only be available if the status of the VO is On Order and there are no Vendor Receivings (VR) attached to the VO
If the status is no longer On Order then the new option of
