Last updated 16 July 2026


Who can use this?

Available to Procurement Buyer, Procurement Admin, and Admin roles. The supplier must be a buyer-managed (non-self-service) vendor.

Open the Purchase Order

Open the PO you want to accept:

Set Estimated Delivery Dates for each line item

The dialog requires an Estimated Delivery Date (EDD) for every line item before you can proceed.

Set the dates in one of two ways:

  • Use the Set all delivery dates bulk picker at the top to apply one date to all items at once.
  • Set dates individually per row.
Accept PO dialog empty
Step 3a: Accept PO dialog opened, showing 0 of 1 dates filled
Accept PO dialog with date filled
Step 3b: All delivery dates filled (1 of 1). The Accept button is now enabled.
Note: The Accept button stays disabled until all line items have a delivery date. You cannot submit with any date missing.

Click Accept to confirm

With all EDDs filled, click Accept.

ProcureFlow records the PO as accepted on the supplier's behalf and refreshes the page.

Step 4: After acceptance. The banner now shows Upload Invoice and Create Goods Receipt buttons.
What changes: The banner action area switches from Accept / Reject to Upload Invoice and Create Goods Receipt, ready for the next steps in the fulfilment cycle.
