    Option to Send/Not Send Vendor Letters for PO Lines

    When defining a PO line, you can now determine whether to send a letter to the vendor. For each acquisition method, there are now two options: one that sends a letter to the vendor and one that does not. By default, the new options that were created to support this functionality are disabled. They may be enabled from the Acquisition Method code table (Configuration Menu > Acquisitions > Purchase Orders > Acquisition Method).
