Tip

Substitutions can only be made on POs with status Confirmed, Pending, and Partial Confirm.

How to Make a Substitution

 

Once this is done, the system will allow the vendor to substitute products on POs.

This is how it will work for them:

Ui step

From Purchase Order >> Confirm POs select the PO and under the Actions column click on Substitute Item.

Ui step

 Select the new product, set quantities, units and cost (if needed), then click on Save.

The system will update the information and you will see it on the Confirm POs page. Once these changes are made, the system will send and email to the Procurement Managers and the company user that created the Prebook informing the substitution of the product.
