Use Purchase Order Change Order

This field lets you define how your company will use PO change orders.

Note:  For this field to be active, you must select the check box labeled Amend Ordered PO. If you clear the check box labeled Amend Ordered PO, the system automatically sets this field to Never.

You can select from these options:

  • Never: The system does not create PO change orders at all.
  • Sometimes: When a PO with a status of Ordered is updated, the system presents an alert message that asks if you want to create a change order. If you want to let the system create the change order, click OK. If you do not want the change order created, click Cancel.
  • Always: When a PO with a status of Ordered is updated, the system automatically creates a change order without prompting or asking.

Selecting Always or Sometimes enables the Change Notes button on these forms:

  • Purchase Orders
  • Purchase Order Lines
  • Purchase Order Blanket Lines
  • Purchase Order Blanket Releases
Note:  Although the Change Notes button is enabled, it is not actually activated until you create a change order on any of these forms.

You can view and modify change orders on the PO Change Orders form. For more information, see the Help for the PO Change Orders form.
