PO Origin

In addition to the PO Status, there is a PO Origin field describing how orders originated in the system. Some orders are placed by a user while other orders are created ad hoc when an unmatched electronic invoice is received. Additionally, orders are placed using different methods, such as Order Guide, Requisition Form, and Punchout. Below is chart explaining different possible values for PO Origin.
