Cancelling a Purchase Order

When you use budgetary control, you cannot change the price, shipment distribution, shipment quantity, accounts or currency on a purchase order after Oracle Purchasing approves it and reserves funds for it. You can cancel the purchase order and resubmit a similar one, in which case Oracle Purchasing updates funds available to reflect the cancelled amount.

When you cancel an approved purchase order, Oracle Purchasing automatically creates negative debit entries for encumbrances associated with the purchase order. Requisition lines you used in the purchase order return to the requisition pool. Oracle Purchasing also recreates requisition encumbrances for the requisition lines used to create the purchase order. Oracle Purchasing uses the distributions from the cancelled purchase order to recreate the encumbrance for the requisition.
