How does Purchase Geolocation work?

When a Purchase Order is created, the system automatically captures the user's current location (latitude and longitude) and stores it in the document.

Why is the location not being captured?

Location may not be captured if:

Browser location permission is denied
GPS/location services are disabled on the device
Internet connectivity is unavailable
The user is using an unsupported browser

Do users need to enter their location manually?

No, the system automatically captures the location when the Purchase Order is created.

Is the location linked to every Purchase Order separately?

Yes, each Purchase Order stores its own location information based on where it was created.

Who can benefit from Purchase Geolocation?

Purchase managers, procurement teams, field buyers, and organizations that require supplier visit verification and location-based tracking.
