The first section to complete will be the basic Purchase Order details:

When working with Purchase Orders, you will be able to select from web templates you have created by making a selection in the Web Template box.
If you have selected a web template to act as your default, it will automatically be populated in this box for all new Purchase Orders.
Once you’ve saved the record, you can click on the Preview As Supplier button at the top to open the web version in a new tab.
