## Before you start

- Purchasing access, the correct branch and supplier, and the original commercial document
- Compare supplier, dates, lines, quantities, prices, tax, and totals before confirming

## Create a purchase order

1. Search /purchasing/orders for the supplier, reference, branch, or status before creating.
2. Open /purchasing/orders/new, add verified supplier, branch, item, unit, quantity, price, date, and tax data, then submit once.

## Edit an eligible purchase order

1. Open the exact order at /purchasing/orders/edit/:id and confirm its current status permits editing.
2. Change only the intended lines or dates, review the new totals, save once, and verify the returned status.

## Read a legacy purchase-order view

1. Use /purchase-orders or /purchase-orders/:id to locate and read the legacy order view.
2. Treat it as read-only unless the page presents an authorized action; open the current purchasing workflow for supported edits.

## Expected result

The submitted purchase order shows the selected supplier, branch, dates, items, units, quantities, prices, tax, total, and status. An ineligible order remains read-only or visibly blocked instead of accepting an unsupported edit.

## Permissions

- Purchase-order list and legacy detail require purchasing.read; create and edit require purchasing.write.

## Troubleshooting

### The order cannot be submitted.

Correct the displayed supplier, branch, date, item, unit, quantity, price, tax, or total validation and submit once. Keep the draft open and do not create a second order while status is unknown.

### An existing purchase order cannot be edited.

Check its current status and whether the route is a read-only legacy detail. Do not bypass an ineligible state; send Support the safe order reference, branch, status, and intended correction.
