Cancel Purchase Order or Line

Explanation

By clicking Status and then Cancel on the purchase order, you can cancel an entire purchase order. On the Part Lines tab, you can cancel lines by first selecting one or several lines followed by clicking Status and then Cancel. After selecting Cancel, a dialog appears where a cancellation cause can be entered. It can be used for statistical and clean up purposes.

If any of the purchase order lines originates from a purchase requisition, you have to decide whether the corresponding requisition lines should be re-opened. 

If the requisition lines originates from Project or Project Delivery, the requisition lines will be automatically re-opened when the purchase order is cancelled. A message will be displayed at any of the following occurrences:

• If only the purchase order line is connected to a project activity and not the purchase requisition line. 
• If only the purchase requisition line is connected to a project activity and not the purchase order line.  
• If the purchase order line and the purchase requisition line are connected to different project activities, and the purchase requisition line is re-opened. 

If the purchase order line is an MRO line (demand code MRO), the connection between the work order and the purchase order is removed when canceling the line.

Prerequisites

• The purchase order line must be in either Released or Confirmed status.

• You must first remove any existing peggings from the purchase order line to be able to cancel the order or the line.
