We've made a small but impactful change to our procurement system that you'll appreciate:
• Procurement's Order Date now defaults to today for new entries.
• Delivery Date no longer automatically sets to "today" if left blank.

Why It Matters:
• Prevents accidental backdating of orders

• Saves you time on each new procurement

How It Works: When creating a new procurement, you'll see today's date pre-filled in the Order Date field.
