This may be an unusual request, but is there an option to incorporate an authorized signature into the purchase order workflow?
We have seen an increasing number of vendors require signed purchase orders. Ideally, we would like the ability to identify those vendors, perhaps through a vendor group or classification, and have POs for those vendors automatically route to the authorized Procurement Officer for signature before the PO is issued.
For the signature itself, we would ideally like the option to either integrate with DocuSign or Adobe Acrobat Sign, or use a self-hosted signature that could be applied to the purchase order, similar to a signature image, as part of the Procurement Officer’s approval step.
The intent would be for this additional signature step to apply only to vendors we have specifically designated as requiring a signed PO.
