**Purchase orders **in WorkBook are created and accessed via the purchase order tab on a job. Purchase orders can be created in a number of ways, one method is to copy purchase line items from a price quote.

It’s important to note, purchase orders cannot be deleted once created. If a mistake is made, the PO can either be amended (in the status of under preparation only) or cancelled.
