Purchase orders
On the Purchase orders tab of Orders settings, you can:
• Make settings for automatic status transitions of purchase orders.
• Link specific countries to the Round down VAT - country list. The default way to round VAT/tax is half up, but by linking specific countries to this list, the VAT/tax for purchase order lines will be rounded down, if the country of the external tradesperson on the order is included in this list of countries.
