Difference between Cancelling a PO & Changing a PO to zero

Modified on Thu, 2 Dec, 2021 at 6:36 PM

If an order has not been sent to the supplier, it can be cancelled. However once it has been sent to the supplier, a change order has to be done to cancel it.

An example from testing is WHC4378 in https://apuctest.pecosipm.com

After submitting & before approval, the Cancel Order Request button was available (see below)

However after approval, that button is no longer available.

The only way to cancel is to raise a change order; this is done by clicking on Change PO (see below)

To cancel, change the Quantity to 0

Add a comment - mandatory - within Audit Trail Comments (required)

You can choose to send to the supplier or not. If cancelling a PO the supplier should always be contacted out with PECOS.

This PO should then be submitted and approved so it sent to the supplier or goes through all requisite approval levels.
