Last updated: April 21, 2026

Create a Purchase Order

After clicking + Purchase Order, choose how you want to create it:

Option 1: Ask AI (Copilot)

Describe what you want (e.g., vendor, record, items), and Copilot will generate the purchase order.

How Copilot Suggestions Work

  • Fields highlighted in green = suggested content

  • Suggestions are not applied until you accept them

You can:

  • Accept → apply a single suggestion

  • Reject → remove it

  • Accept All → apply all suggestions at once

  • Reject All → discard all suggestions

💡 Tip: Review suggestions before accepting—especially line items and descriptions.
