 ===== Authorising purchase orders =====
-If required, it is possible to turn on authorisation of purchase orders. An unauthorised purchase order will print with an "Unauthorised" watermark clearly visible across it.  An authorised purchase order will print //without// the watermark. This is the only difference authorising purchase orders makes - unauthorised purchase orders can still be confirmed and have goods receipted against them so it is not as restrictive as, for example, customer invoice authorisation.
+If required, it is possible to turn on authorisation of purchase orders. See **[[other_stuff:invoice_authorization|Authorisation]]** for details.
-To turn on purchase order authorisation, check the //Purchase order must be authorised// store preference. See [[other_stuff:virtual_stores#the_preferences_tab|Virtual stores preferences]] for details of how to do this.
-When a user is logged into a store with this preference turned on, an //Authorise// checkbox appears in the bottom left hand corner of a purchase order:
-{{ :purchasing:purchase_order_authorise.png?600 |}}
-Only users with the //Can authorise purchase orders// permission can check the //Authorise// checkbox and therefore authorise a purchase order. See [[admin:managing_users#the_permissions_tabs|Managing users]] for instructions on setting permissions for users.
 ===== Purchase order categories =====
-Purchase order categories are useful for separating up your purchase orders when reporting. For details about setting them up and assigning them to purchase orders please see [[purchasing:show_po_categories|Purchase order categories]].
