You can configure an automatic block on creating a new purchase order if there are other older purchase orders that the user created but has not processed.

To process the order, one of the following three actions must be taken:

  1. Cancel the order
  2. Associate the order with an invoice
  3. Update the date of the item in the order to a later date

You can configure the number of months for which the blocking mechanism will be activated

The setting can be defined at the company level or at the user level
