How do I cancel a Purchase Order (PO)?

Modified on Thu, 11 Jul at 12:04 PM

To cancel a PO, use the POCF Option (Total Cancellation of Purchase Order) within the Financial Portal. 

  1. 1. Log in as a Principal Investigator or Secondary User. 

  1. 2. Go to the Purchasing menu and select, “Create PO Change Form.” 

  1. 3. Find the PO to be changed and click the “Create PO Change” link next to it. 

  1. 4. Select the first option, “Total Cancellation of Purchase Order.” 


    1. 5. Notice that the top of the POCF shows the type of change. (This helps the user confirm the action they wish to make.) 


     

      

    The type of change is also shown below the PO details section. 

  2.  

      

     6. Enter the reason for the cancellation. For example, “To close PO. All goods (or services) have been received; no additional invoices are expected.”  

     7. At the bottom, click “Save,” then click “Submit to FA.”
