Overview
To amend a PO, use Document Search to find the most recent version. Open the PO and click the Amend button.
When you amend a PO, the system creates a PO Amend (POA) document based on the existing PO. You must enter a reason when initiating the amendment. When the amendment is submitted, the fiscal officer receives an FYI. This is his or her notification that the order has changed. The reason for the amendment is added to the Notes & Attachments tab of all versions of the PO. Previous actions on the PO may limit what you are permitted to change on this document. Generally, you may make changes to the Items, Accounts, Delivery, and Vendor tabs.
The document layout of the POA document is identical to that of the original Purchase Order, with the addition of a notation regarding status in the Document Header, such as Warning: There is a pending action on this Purchase Order.
