Canceling a Purchase Order

 If you accidentally created a purchase order or if the ordered items are no longer needed, you can cancel it. 

A purchase order that is created, approved, or ordered can be canceled. However, you cannot cancel a purchase order after the items have been received.

Role Required:  SDAdmin, Technicians with Delete permission for Purchase

To cancel a purchase order,

1. Open the purchase order you wish to cancel.
   
2. Click Actions > Cancel this PO. A Cancel Purchase Order pop-up will be displayed.
   
3. Enter your remarks, if any, in the Comments field.
   
4. You can notify the approvers upon canceling a purchase order by selecting the Send mail notification checkbox.
   
5. Configure the notification recipients in the To field. The PO owner will be notified by default if the purchase order is Approved/Rejected/Canceled.
   
6. Click Send. The status of the purchase order will automatically change to Canceled.
   

The notifications will be sent to the recipients as a mail.
