Purchase Order - Voiding a PO

Pgm: POPSTVOC – Void Purchase Order; standard Treeview path: Purchase Order > Process > Void Purchase Order

The Void Purchase Order screen is used to cancel purchase orders.  Only processed and not received purchase orders can be canceled.  Once voided, the purchase orders cannot be recalled when processing purchase order receipts. Voiding is not allowed if a change order is entered or posted against the purchase order.

A Voided Purchase Order Listing is automatically printed every time the void program is run.  For each purchase order voided, the report shows the company name, department name, purchase order number, vendor name, order date, change/original status, item, quantity, price, and extended price.  Also, if the purchase order was distributed to a job, the commitments will be voided on a Job Cost Posting Report.
