Good morning, I believe we have discovered a gap in functionality as we are implementing spend programs to create purchase orders as a requirement in Ramp.
- Where it works as intended: For Bill Pay if the AP bill is matched perfectly to an existing PO, we have in the workflow that only the “PO Owner” has to approve. This is perfect and works as intended.
- Missing functionality: When spend requests are submitted, it is an option to also generate a virtual card which is tied to the purchase order. However, does not appear in the ‘Expense reviews’ controls we can set a “PO Owner” as the approver.
We are hoping this can be fixed soon since a purchase order should work the same whether it is paid by ACH or credit card - especially since they are already tied together to reduce the PO balances.
