While Purchase Order is still is Preparation, it is possible to delete/replace attachments, however, when the Purchase Order is Sent, you're not allowed to delete/replace, just to add new ones.

An option to be able to be allowed, you can follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Implementation Projects.
2. Step 4.
3. Compliance.
4. Corporate Governance.
5. Highlight the 'Audit' section and you will see one question on the right hand side of screen.
6. "Do you want to enable Audit Proof Archiving?"
7. Select it.

Also, since attachment type is standard it gets included by default to the output, so either you can use document type as internal if you don't want to send to Supplier or you can uncheck it in the "You can also"-> edit output settings for purchase order.
