2. Click the Attach File button.
3. Select the file you want to attach, such as a screenshot, invoice, or other relevant document.
4. Confirm the attachment, and it will be stored with the PO for easy reference.

Step 3: Communicate with Team Members

2. Tag a team member by mentioning their name.
   • They will receive a notification, ensuring everyone stays informed.

Why Use This Feature?

Cost layers can also be updated or created by:

1. Transfer Orders
   
   • When inventory is moved between warehouses, the cost layers transfer with it.
2. Assembly Orders
   
   • When raw components are combined to create a finished product:
     • The system takes the cost layers of the components.
     • A new cost layer is created for the finished product based on the combined costs.

Key Points to Remember

• Centralized Information: Keep all PO-related files and conversations in one place.
• Enhanced Collaboration: Team members can easily access attachments and messages for better communication.
• Improved Record-Keeping: Store invoices, screenshots, or any other documents for future reference.

With these tools, Luminous makes it simple to manage and organize important information directly within a purchase order.
