Description

Cancel

Click the Cancel PO button to cancel the entire purchase order. When you click this button, you are prompted to confirm that you want to cancel the purchase order.

If the purchase order references a request for quote (RFQ), you are prompted with a message to decrease the RFQ order quantity. If you decrease the ordered quantity, that quantity becomes available to be awarded to another supplier. If you do not decrease the award quantity, the quantity is not available to be awarded on another purchase order.

You are also prompted to change the requisition quantity, so that it can be sourced again.

If you don't have the authority to cancel a purchase order, the Cancel PO button is not available. Set up the authority to cancel a purchase order on the User Preferences - Procurement: Purchase Order Authorizations page.

If the purchase order has already been dispatched to the supplier, the system navigates to the Maintain Purchase Order - Cancel Purchase Order page which contains additional instructions regarding the need to budget check the purchase order again (if commitment control is engaged) and to re-dispatch the purchase order.

If you cancel a purchase order that is associated to a recurring purchase order voucher contract, the system changes the status of the contract to Hold. You can then copy the contract into a new contract if necessary.

Note: When a purchase order has an authored contract document associated to it, certain changes that occur when closing the purchase order could affect the authored document. You should contact the contract specialist or the buyer in case they need to update or amend the authored document as needed.
