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.
