Mark purchase orders as billed only after draft bill approval
I believe it would be possible to change the current behaviour where a Purchase Order is automatically marked as Billed when it is copied to a Draft Bill.
I think it would be more accurate if the Purchase Order remained open and was only marked as Billed once the related bill has been approved and the full Purchase Order value has been billed.
The current process can be misleading, as a Purchase Order is shown as billed even though the bill is still in draft status and may be amended, partially billed, or not approved at all.
Marking the Purchase Order as billed only after the bill is approved for the full Purchase Order amount would provide a more accurate reflection of its actual status and improve visibility for users managing purchasing workflows.

We create draft bills for cashflow and changing the PO to billed instantly means having to go back and un-bill the PO.
