Order Modification

Overview

This application allows a buyer to modify any released orders.  There are four options to the modification process:

Complete

Cancel

Amend

Cost Split - Controlled by a parameter called ONLINE_REQ_USE_COSTSPLIT. If this parameter is set to "Y", then the cost split functionality will be activated. If an originator captures a requisition, he must indicate how costs will be split between different entities. This will be done as percentages. Those percentages can be amended here.

 

Parameter (ORD_MOD_APPR_CHANGES) is used.  If set to Y, orders completed or cancelled will be sent for Workflow approval to the responsibility displayed on the order before changes will be updated.  If the parameter is set to N, then it will not go for approval and the status will be updated immediately.
