Redwood: Review Purchase Order Change and Revision Histories

Review the change and revision histories of purchase orders from Redwood pages as a buyer or supplier.

Before this update, the purchase order document history was available under the Order History tab on the Redwood View Purchase Order page. With this update, you can use the View Order History action to open a drawer that displays information related to the document history, change history, and revision history of the purchase order. You can access the Order History drawer from either the Redwood Purchase Orders page or the View Purchase Order page, and you can navigate back to the original page when you close the drawer.

These screen captures illustrate the feature.

Tips And Considerations

• You can access the Order history drawer as either a supplier or buyer. As a supplier, you can view only external change orders in the Document History and Change History tabs..
• Procurement requesters will continue to have access only to the Document history drawer.
