Purchase order items can be moved from an existing task to a different Task, or back to Stock if the item was not used on the job.
The Move Items feature is controlled by each user's permission group. By default, all users can move items from purchase orders to tasks or to stock.
Custom Permission Groups
For those with custom permission groups, Site Administrators can disable this feature by going to Site Administration > Settings > Permission Groups > [Select permission group] > Purchase Orders > Fields > Move Items (set to unticked).
