Note

Instead of modifying an existing item, use the 'copy item' to copy the item you want to change. This will create a new item and you can change the item's quantity, description price or account code at that time. The item's issued date must be in an open posting period.  If the PO line item has not been paid on, you may cancel the original item by clicking on the .  The cancelled item will still be displayed on the PO but with a line crossing it out.  When the Amended PO is printed, the cancelled items will still show in the items grid, but will be marked with a "C" and will not figure into the PO total amount or the total charges to budget accounts.   If the PO line has been paid on, the user may issue a new Cancel_Full invoice against the original PO line item to close it.
