Senario # 2. the vendor wants to update the buyer with some changes regarding the PO.
The vendor MUST download the PO Update form attached to the email to his computer and open it.

2. The vendor can enter comments to each line.
3. The vendor can enter a new quantity to be delivered
After all changes and updates have been made the vendor must press the button.
An automatic Reply email will be presented.
