What happens if a purchasing document is canceled?
As a procurement agent, you can terminate an existing contract to buy from a supplier by canceling document headers, lines, or schedules.
Canceled documents can be communicated to the supplier. The communicated documents are marked with a cancellation notice to highlight this action to the supplier.
When you cancel a purchase order entity, you're still able to receive or pay for canceled items and services as well as pay for all previously received orders up to the over-receipt tolerance based on the new ordered after cancellation.
As a supplier, you can also terminate an existing contract to supply items by canceling document headers, lines, or schedules. Such cancellation request requires review and approval by the buying organization.
You can't modify a canceled entity or its components. For example, if you cancel a line you can't modify the associated schedules and distributions.
Use the Actions menu to cancel a document.
After a requisition is approved and processed into a purchase order, its status remains approved and the requisition line remains linked to the purchase order, even if you cancel the PO. Cancel Unfulfilled Demand controls whether a backing requisition is canceled when you cancel a PO, and it's determined by purchasing options: Never, Always, or Optional. You can reinstate the requisition line by selecting No for cancel unfulfilled demand.
