[OAUGNet]-Re: Purchasing: Canceling vs. Closing a PO

["Swapna Kankipati" <Swapn.Kankipati@pgcps.org>]

Shannon,
Canceling a PO would release the encumbrance on it where as the close
would still hold the encumbrance. 

You can review Purchase Order Control Matrices section in the user guide
and review the more detailed differences close and cancel. Based on that
you can decide what is appropriate action for the PO.

Thanks,
Swapna

Subject: [OAUGNet]-Purchasing: Canceling vs. Closing a PO


Hi,

We have some old purchase orders that never ended up being received
and/or 
billed.  We would like to cancel them.  However, we receive an error
when 
we try to cancel them.  If we simply "Close" the orders we do not
receive 
an error and the header status changes from "approved" to "approved, 
closed".  Is there a difference between cancelling and closing a PO?
What 
is the impact of closing the po's vs. cancelling them?

We are on 11.5.7, 8i.

Best regards,
Shannon
