PO Extensions

An extension is an issuance of an additional amount by the client on an existing PO. Extensions must be in the same currency as the original PO. To create an extension in a different currency, add a new PO tracking number.

The extension number is an auto-numbered, system-generated number for each amount added to the PO tracking ID.

The system sets the extension status to Active once a transaction is applied. You cannot change an extension amount or customer PO reference number once a transaction has been applied to the extension.

Extension Types

PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management allows two types of extensions:

Term	Definition
Customer	The default for all extension types. With the exception of the first extension (extension # = 0) (extension number), you can override this type. The first extension for a PO tracking number must always be Customer. Once an extension type is set to Customer and saved, it cannot be reset to Internal. A customer extension represents a new PO from the customer. The new PO can be either a new customer PO number or an extension of the original. Identify this value in the Customer PO field.
Internal	Establish an internal extension to continue processing on an expired or exhausted extension. This extension can be used as a placeholder, allowing you to continue to bill until you receive the actual customer PO.
