Purchase Order Improvements

This release addresses feedback collected over the past six weeks on the purchase order workflow. The most requested change - the ability to create a PO directly from a job without leaving the job view - is now live. Several bug fixes are also included, most notably the duplicate reference number issue that affected a small number of accounts.

Create POs from jobs

You can now raise a purchase order directly from the job detail view. Click the new "Raise PO" button in the suppliers section of any job, select the supplier, and the PO is pre-populated with the relevant line items from the job. This removes the need to navigate to the purchase orders section and manually re-enter the job details.

Supplier matching improvements

The supplier search when creating a PO now searches across supplier name, contact name, and email address simultaneously. Previously it only searched by supplier name, which caused issues when the same supplier was saved under slightly different names by different team members.

Bug fixes

Fixed: Duplicate PO reference numbers were being generated in accounts with multiple users creating POs simultaneously. All new POs now use a lock-based reference counter that prevents collisions.

Fixed: PO PDF was incorrectly rendering the delivery address as the billing address on accounts where these differ. Both addresses now display correctly.

Fixed: The "Mark as received" button was not appearing on POs with more than 15 line items. This has been resolved and the button now appears consistently regardless of line item count.
