Reverting a purchase order (PO) is useful when adjustments are required. This process allows you to change the PO's status from received back to not received, automatically updating the inventory levels to reflect this change.

If you accidentally receive all or some items on the PO, or you need to send items back to a supplier, you can revert a Received or Partially received PO. You will also need to revert a PO if you want to edit any details of the done PO.

How to revert a purchase order

You can revert a received PO from the Buy screen or on a PO card. If you've only received some of the PO's items, reverting will revert the status for all items. You can't partially revert a PO.

  1. Navigate to the Buy screen β†’ Done table.

  2. Find the PO and change the Delivery status to Not received.

  3. Your inventory levels will update automatically.
