Departments - Old DPO Design

In this area, you can create and manage departments that can be selected when creating Purchase Orders (P.O.s), invoices, or expenses. Setting up departments correctly is essential, as it ensures the approval workflow runs smoothly by routing documents to the right approvers at each step.
