What MAJA does for you

  • An LPO posts no journal and moves no stock — it is an order to your supplier.
  • When the pre-filled bill saves, the LPO is marked Converted and the Convert to Bill button disappears.
  • Use Share or PDF/Print on the LPO to send it to the supplier.

Good to know

  • Every LPO line needs an Account, because it drives the bill posting when the LPO converts.
  • In the LPO's ⋯ menu you can Clone it, switch between Mark as Sent and Convert to Draft, or Delete it (an LPO posts nothing, so deleting it removes only the order).
