After you create and final print a standard or service purchase order and send it to a vendor, the only way to change the purchase order is via a change order. The change order reverses the committed expense.
Use a change order to:
-
Change the items in a purchase order.
-
Increase or decrease an item's quantity.
-
Align an item price with the price on the vendor's invoice or with the item's Last Price in
.
To maintain a proper audit trail, Vision saves all change orders. If you need to reverse or change a change order, you must create a new change order to perform this action.
Use a release order, not a change order, to change or cancel a blanket purchase order.
Change Order Numbers
Vision assigns a change order number to each change order. You cannot change the number.
Approval
The same approval procedure that is necessary for a purchase order is necessary for the a change to the purchase order. If a change order increases the purchase order's total monetary amount to an amount that exceeds the buyer's purchasing limit, the change order must be approved.
