| Approval needed at or above | 0 (off) | POs with a total at or above this amount need approval before sending. Enter the amount in paise for a rupee store: 5000000 = ₹50,000. |

Tips
- Set the warehouse while the PO is a draft.
- Put the supplier's quote or invoice number in Your reference so you can search for it.
- Disable suppliers you stop using instead of deleting them.
