New fields added to the Purchase Order Upload Standard template

Note:This enhancement is available with IT Asset Management.

Five new fields have been added to the Purchase Order Upload Standard template to provide additional information for tracking purchase data. This new information will help identify who authorized the purchase order, processed it, requested it, the requested date and associated request number.

Customers are recommended to re-download the standard template to their local machine from IT Asset Management. However, as the new fields are all optional, the change is backwards compatible with the previously released standard template. If purchase orders are uploaded using the previously released standard template, the new fields are treated as empty fields in the purchase order.

The following fields have been added:

Note:Value are recorded on the Ownership Tab in Purchase Properties.

Authorized by Email—Matches an existing user in the system by email address and sets the Authorized by value for a purchase to this user if a match is found.
Processed by Email—Matches an existing user in the system by email address and sets the Processed by value for a purchase to this user if a match is found.
Request Date—Sets the Request Date for a purchase.
Requestor Email—Matches an existing user in the system by email address and sets the Requestor value for a purchase to this user if a match is found.
Request Number—Sets the Request Number for a purchase.
