# Purchase Orders Option

The Purchase Orders option is used to enter [purchase orders](/sui/docs/purchase-orders) and convert approved [requisitions](/sui/docs/requisitions-definition) to purchase orders, if applicable. The Purchase Orders option is also used to view purchase orders and print purchase orders forms if needed.

When a purchase order is first created in Web Link modern experience, it is saved with a status of Draft, and once the purchase order is finalized and ready to be posted, the status must be updated to Ready to Order. After a batch of purchase orders is posted (from within Accounts Payable), the status changes to Posted in Web Link modern experience. For more information, see [Purchase Order Status Workflow](/sui/docs/automatically-creating-purchase-order-batches-in-the-school-accounting-system).

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The Purchase Orders option is only available to users defined with rights to enter purchase orders (within the User Security option).

> ***Tip:*** Purchase orders entered in Web Link modern experience are only able to be posted from within Accounts Payable.
