Customer Chris Bradd has this request:

"Ideally after the request, I need to be able to click on a button and that turns the request into a purchase order that I can send to my supplier. I like your less paper idea so perhaps just emailing rather than printing would be perfect. The way it is at the moment, my staff have to enter all the details of the request and then I have to re enter them into spreadsheet which is our PO template and then send the PO to the supplier. It’s double handling all of the information. What are the chances of being able to add that sort of functionality to your product. If so, it would be perfect for us."

The way I see this working is:

1. User goes to 'Purchases'
2. Clicks on individual purchase request
3. They see a page laid out like a purchase order with a) the company name, logo and address, b) the item itself c) the price and d) the description field, d) the document attachment.
4. They can print this (in an nice format, no URL at the top etc.) or save it as a PDF or Word document (is this possible?) which they can then email to someone.

We may want to add two text fields to the purchase form:

1) Purchase order number ("PO Number")
2) Supplier
