Easily revert a PO in Katana to adjust inventory and update order details when needed.


When should you revert a PO?

You may need to revert a purchase order if:

  • You accidentally marked the PO as Received or Partially received.

  • You need to return items to a supplier.

  • You want to edit the PO after it's marked as done.

  • You need to adjust inventory levels due to an error.

Note: You can only revert a PO if it hasn’t entered a closed inventory period.


How to revert a purchase order

You can revert a PO from either the Buy screen or directly on the PO card.

Step-by-Step:

  1. Go to the Buy screen.

  2. Click the Done tab to view completed POs.

  3. Locate the PO you want to revert and click it to open the PO card.

  4. Click the three-dot icon (⋮) in the top corner.

  5. Select Revert all from the dropdown.

Important: If the PO is partially received, this will revert all items—you cannot partially revert a PO.


What happens when you revert?

Reverting a PO automatically updates inventory:

  • In Stock quantity decreases

  • Expected quantity increases

This action effectively resets the PO to a "Not received" state, making it editable again.
