Sometimes a Purchase Order needs to be voided after it has already been created. DPO allows authorized users to void a Purchase Order while keeping the original record and Purchase Order ID available in the system.
Check your permission to void Purchase Orders
Before you can void a Purchase Order, make sure you have the required permission. When you open a Purchase Order, you should see an “X” icon in the upper-right corner.
If the icon is not visible, ask your DPO Book Administrator to grant you the necessary permission. Administrators can enable it by going to Settings, opening the Users tab, editing the relevant user profile and activating the Can Void checkbox.
Void an existing Purchase Order
Once the permission has been enabled, return to the relevant Purchase Order and click the void button in the upper-right corner. After confirming the action, the Purchase Order will be voided.
Find voided Purchase Orders
Voiding a Purchase Order does not delete it from DPO. The Purchase Order remains in the system and can be found again using the filter for voided Purchase Orders.
DPO does not allow Purchase Orders to be deleted, ensuring that no Purchase Order ID can be lost.
Keep a complete Purchase Order record
The Void feature allows you to remove a Purchase Order from active use without deleting its record. This means the Purchase Order and its original ID remain available in DPO for future reference.
