3. Select the relevant Purchase Order which is in Sent status
4. Navigate to Attachments tab

System has triggered Email to the supplier because you have configured the attribute 'Attachments'  in Purchase Order Output Control Settings. So any changes to the attributes to the ordered purchase order will be communicated to supplier via email, fax.

You also need to take care of dependent attributes. For example, when you change quantity, it automatically leads to a change in net value and taxes at item and header. These settings will not be applicable in case ordered purchase order is updated and approval is triggered.

1. Go to the Business Configuration work center
2. Go to the Implementation Projects view
