- Draft — available only if you start creating the PO via Xero.
- Awaiting Approval — all the approved orders will have this status in Xero.
- Approved — the PO gets this status after being approved by the proper responsible person.
- Billed — after receiving approval, the document can be marked as billed, and in Xero, you can automatically create a draft bill copying the current PO.
- Deleted — if the PO has been canceled in Precoro, the document in Xero will get this status. These documents are no longer available for editing. You can learn more information here.
