Reproducing the Issue

  1. Attempt to create a new PO using either the  "Manage Purchase Order - Professional", or "Create Purchase Order - Advanced" App.
  2. Try to remove or delete the PO Output Type that is automatically defaulted in accordance with the system setting via the "Output Parameters Determination" App.
