Respond to buyer updates or changes with Tasks – SourceDay

The updates tab is where you will see all PO lines that have an update that was requested by the buyer. You will need to check any cost, quantity or date changes requested by the buyer and either agree to the requested updates, or request additional updates to those updates. This will move to the Awaiting Response tab in the Purchase Orders section once you have updated this record.

Understanding the View

When you are on the Tasks view, you can look at all orders that need to be updated under the Updates tab.

You can click through each PO line (in the middle column) which will change the PO details and actions that are displayed in the column on the right.
