Create a Purchase Order Change Order
Explanation
This activity is used to create a change order for a purchase order. A purchase
order change order is used to manage changes to a released and authorized purchase
order. The purchase order change order allows you to keep track of changes made
between purchase order revisions and to invoke authorization for these changes.
The associated purchase order can then be updated with the changes registered
in the change order.
Prerequisites
- The purchase order for which you want to create a change order needs
to be in either Released, Confirmed, Arrived, Received,
or Stopped status.
- The purchase order must not have a change order in the Planned,
Released, or Authorized status.
System Effects
- A purchase order change order is created in the status Planned
and can be viewed in the Purchase Order Change Order page.
It contains information from the purchase order. When the first change order
is created for a purchase order there is also a baseline change order created
that represents the original version of the purchase order. This
is indicated by the Baseline option which is selected in the
Purchase Order Change Order page.
- The Pending Change Order option is selected in the Purchase
Order page for the associated purchase order.
