Cancelling or Voiding a Purchase Order generated from a Requisition | GP 2013 R2 and later


I have seen this case quite commonly with several clients as they want to modify a purchase order which is generated from a requisition, this include the following scenarios:

Here is the requisition details:

Requisition Window

Then, the requisition is purchased so that a purchase order is created as shown below:

Generate

 

Now on the purchase order entry window, you might need to cancel a quantity or even void the whole purchase order, a user opens the purchase order entry window and try to apply such modifications as shown below:

1- Cancelling quantity on the purchase order generated from the requisition
“The quantity can’t be changed because the remaining quantity doesn’t satisfy the commitments for this line item”

Cancelling Quantity

2- Voiding a purchase order generated from the requisition 
“You can’t void this document because line items for the document are committed to line items on one or more documents”

Void Erro

3- Deleting the purchase order generated from the requisition
“You can’t delete this document because line items for the document are committed to line items on one or more documents”

Delete Error

Solution

All you need to do is to simply use the “Edit Purchase Order” window to either cancel the purchase order or change specific line item status. (Remember that the original status of the purchase order plays a major role in either preventing or allowing such change, such as a PO which has been already received ...etc.)

Go to Purchasing > Transactions > Edit Purchase Order status

Edit Purchase Order status

  1. Hi Mahmoud,

  2. Hi Muc,

    For LPO Cancel, enter the quantity cancelled for the corresponding line and click process. You will be able to cancel the LPO.

  3. 1. Select PO by checkmarking the box and selecting EDIT PURCHASE ORDER at top of screen.

    2. In Edit Purchase Order Status, change the amount in QUANTITY CANCELED field to match the QTY ORDERED field (i.e., if QO=2 QCan=2)

    3. Change Status (next to QTY CANC field) to Canceled, change Purchase Order Status dropdown in upper third of screen) to Canceled

    4. Click on the PROCESS gear upper left of screen

    5. Screen will clear, click the Red X Close box to collapse window.

    6. The Purchase Order Edited Status Journal screens will appear. Screen or physical print the journals.

    7. Refresh Purchase Order Transactions screen. You will see the dollar amount on the PO has changed from X$ to $0.00, and when you double click on the PO the status shows as cancelled.

    Sorry I couldn't get screen shots to post in reply.

  4. Hello,

    I am on GP 2016 R2 and I can't seem to cancel a line item. The PO Status is set to New and all line items are also New.

    I have tried all suggestions (Kathryn's, Mahmood's) and nothing... Get the following message "The quantity can't be changed because the remaining quantity doesn't satisfy the commitments for this line item.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    1. Hello,

      I'm also having problems with this. I've tried all methods and nothing... In my case, my line items also are tied to a Project Number & a Purchase/Materials "non-inventory" Cost Category. It also came from a Purchase Requisition (w/ Approval Workflow).

      Any help would be appreciated.

  5. It makes no sense to cancel each individual line. If there are multiple lines this can take considerable time. How can I cancel the PO without going line by line.
