AWS PO Preview

 

As part of the procure-to-pay process, AWS customers leverage Purchase Orders (“POs”) to procure AWS services and approve invoices for payment.  The current limitation is not able to track their PO information to ensure that valid POs are used for their invoices.  It can be maually achieved by connecting AWS Support service team.

Last week, AWS introduced Purchase order (preview) feature in AWS console app.  It allows the customers to configure multiple POs, define how they are mapped to invoices, and access invoices generated against their POs.  Now, the customer can manage PO status, track PO balance and expiration, and configure contacts to receive email notifications for PO expiration and balance depletion.

With the new PO Management capabilities, customers will be able to exercise greater control over their PO information, and leverage their procure-to-pay process more effectively with AWS.
