Multiple Users Print Purchase Orders at the Same Time

Release Date: 11/7/2018

Q - When one or more people simultaneously try to print and email Purchase Orders, they get an error message saying that the "Program is already in use."

There's no limitation on how many users can print purchase orders at the same time in this mode.  See sample screen below:
