  1. Add more fields to the Update PO lines information & Update POLs Advanced jobs

    All fields of the POL should be something that can be updated by job.
    Some specific fields that it would be really helpful to have in the Update PO Lines Information or Update PO Lines Information Advanced jobs are:
    Subscription from/to dates
    Renewal date
    Cancellation Restriction checkbox & Cancellation Restriction Note
    While it might be possible to update these fields via the APIs, the permissions and skill level needed to use the APIs is much higher than to run jobs.

  2. Add the ability to add notes to POLs en masse

    During some projects, it is necessary to append the same note to a group of POLs (cancellation projects, for instance).

    Being able to add a note to a group of POLs en masse (versus adding the note to each POL one by one) would be helpful.
