Re-install Parameter MANDPO so that invoices more than a certain dollar value must be linked to a Purchase Order

We used to have this parameter in place, but it stopped functioning after the Advanced Approval process was implemented.
The parameter prevents high-value invoices being paid without a purchase order.

This parameter also strengthens internal risk controls by improving the accuracy of committed cost forecasting.

    Hi Jane,
    There is an issue for this that is currently in the code complete Quality
    Assurance phase.
    Hopefully, we can get that fix to you shortly.
    cheers

    Hi Andrew,

    We are of the understanding that the parameter MANDPO was available as part of the old approval system, however it doesn't form part of the newer Advanced Approvals. It would be great if this paramter can be reinstated as it is an important tool for cost control. Happy to discuss further..

    Hi Andrew, yes this is correct. We'd had it working for a couple of years and stopped working earlier this year.

    Hi Toni,
    I spotted an issue logged for this. Just to confirm, this is something that
    was working for you before, and has stopped working recently?
    cheers
