Edit Purchase Order Item

Purpose: Use the Edit Purchase Order Item window to review additional details about an item on a purchase order and, optionally:

  • put the line on hold by selecting the Hold flag. When you put a line on hold, you also need to specify a Reason Description.

Note:

You might put a line on hold if you cannot fulfill it, and are requesting that the retailer cancel it. When a line on a purchase order is on hold, it is not eligible for pack slip generation or for reprinting through the void/reprint option; or, if a pack slip has already been generated, the line is not eligible for shipment confirmation.
  • clear the Hold flag to return a line to its previous status. If the line returns to New Order status, any pending cancellation request or address change applies automatically. See the Purchase Order Change Requests screen for background.
  • revise the due date for a line by entering a Revised Due Date in the correct format for your locale (as defined at the Vendor Configuration screen), or selecting a date from the calendar control next to the Revised Due Date entry field. When you revise the due date for a line, you also need to specify a Reason Description.
  • enter or delete a Reason Description as an informational note about the line, even if you are not changing the line’s hold status or revising the due date.

After making any of these changes, click Save to save the change and close the window.

All other fields at this window are display-only.

Display window instead? You advance to this window rather than the Display Purchase Order Item window if you have the required authority and if the status of the line is not Shipped or Cancelled.

Retailer notified: The retailer receives a notification email when you hold or release a line, change an expected ship date, or enter or change a Reason Description.

How to display this window: Select the icon (Illustrates the edit icon.) in the Edit column at the Detail tab of the Purchase Order screen for a line that is not in Cancelled or Shipped status if you have the required authority.
