Case1:

The new changes were not relevant to the supplier. Hence no output was sent out to printer or via email / fax.
In the tab Changes, in the Details section for the particular change, you can read: No relevant change documents were found.
The changes will be triggered if you add an item, change the quantity , price , account assignment etc in an item.

Case2:

When you create a Purchase Order and send to supplier , then create Purchase Order template is generated in output history and if you do not do any changes in the purchase order , then only one form (create Purchase order form) will be there in output history after the Purchase order is finished.

In this case, order was created and sent to supplier once (no changes/send update was done), hence only create Purchase order form is generated in output history

Case1: If you want to generate a new output of the purchase order in its current status, you can do a dummy change and save (before doing so, you can temporarily change the output settings to avoid a paper output or that an email/fax is sent out to the supplier contact). Afterward revert the change and save the purchase order once more (with correct output settings). In the tab Output History, you can find 2 new outputs, the most recent one being the desired form for the supplier.

Case2: You have to select "send update" if you change anything in the purchase order which is in sent status, only then the changes will be sent to the supplier and a changed Purchase order form will be generated in output history which will capture the updated Purchase order version for supplier reference.
