# How can I unhide the hidden Purchase Order (PO) in SAP Business Network?

## Symptom

How can I unhide the hidden Purchase Order (PO) in SAP Business Network?

## Resolution

To unhide a hidden PO on your Business Network supplier account, you must follow these steps:

1. Login to SAP Business Network Account.
2. Click **Workbench** or **Orders.**
3. Go to **Orders and Releases**.
4. On the **Orders** tile, enter the PO number in the **Order numbers** field and select **Partial match**.
5. Select the **Creation date**.
6. Click **Show More** and change the **Visibility** to **Hidden** or **All orders**.
7. Click **Apply**.
8. To the right of the PO in the **Actions** column, go to **\[3 dots icon\]** click **Unhide**.

Once the PO is unhidden, you will be able to search it using the **Exact match** filter.

[Hiding POs](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/169405) is a useful resource if you don't want to see them anymore because they [cannot be deleted](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/125444) from the Business Network.

If your PO is not hidden, you may not be able to find it on your Business Network account [if you do not have a trading relationship with the customer](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/154523) or if the [PO is older than 1 year](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/188336).
