Client Purchase Order Card
Close PO
The system automatically closes a CPO when all PO lines are fully invoiced (PO Total is equal to the Total Invoiced amount, PO Balance is zero).
You can manually close the PO as well. To do this, enter the close date.
The PO can be reopened if the balance isn't exceeded. To do this, delete the closed date.
Cancel PO
To cancel a PO that has been rejected by a Client, you must enter the canceled date in the appropriate field. Once you've done this, the system will:
- clear the PO association in the SO card
- change the PO Status to Canceled
- zero out the Remaining to Allocate amount.
To undo a cancellation, delete the cancelled date.
You cannot cancel a purchase order that has been invoiced.
Change PO
If you want to make changes in a PO, for example change PO Total, you should decrease or increase PO Total. Then you adjust related SO(s) → then you upload a new version of the PO document with updates.
