How to change Unit of Measure on a Confirmed Purchase Order? (v11)

A purchase order (PO) was created in Kilograms (Kg), for 100,000Kg.

The PO was confirmed, then later identified that the PO was in the wrong unit of measure (UOM). It should have been listed in pounds (lbs).

How can we change the UOM of the 100,000Kg to lbs?

We need to use the existing PO number, and the PO should show 100,000 lbs.

The method I have discovered is to zero out the original line item and add an additional line item in the correct quantity and UOM; but, this looks sloppy and is confusing for down-line recipients.

All assistance and discussion is appreciated.

You can cancel, edit and re-confirm the Purchase Order, provided nothing has been received.

  • CANCEL the Purchase Order.

  • SET TO DRAFT.

  • Remove/edit the incorrect information (either delete the line/change the UoM).

  • CONFIRM the Purchase Order.

Thanks!

That worked brilliantly.

As well, I found that it helps to declare your purchasing UOM on the product page.

This method still works in version 15, thank you!
