You must have the necessary permissions to change orders that originate from a requisition you created. Additional permissions are necessary to change orders that other users have created.

You can change only orders whose status is Ordered or, from Ariba Supplier Network (Ariba SN), Confirming, Confirmed, Shipping, Shipped, Receiving, or Invoicing (if items are not yet fully received).

If an order has a status of Shipping, Shipped, Receiving, or Invoicing, you can change any field but: unit price, unit of measure, item description, supplier, supplier location, and supplier part number. Note that although you can change quantity, it cannot be less than what has already been shipped or received.

If orders are pushed to an ERP system, you cannot edit these fields (in addition to those listed above):

To change a non-editable field, delete the line item and then create a new line item with the correct values.

1. Review order information.
   • When changing orders using the Orders tab (while viewing requisition details), you can change multiple orders at one time.
   • When changing an order while viewing order details (after having searched for orders), you can change only the order whose details you are viewing.
   • While viewing order details, you can choose instead to change the requisition on which the order is based, by clicking Click here to change requisition PRx directly. You cannot add items directly to an order; if you need to do so, click the link and change the requisition to add the items.
2. Change order information.
   • To change the quantity, enter a new quantity.
   • To edit line item information, click the check box for one or more line items and then click Edit.
   • To delete one or more items, click their check boxes and then Delete.
3. Add comments to explain what you have changed and why. Click Add Attachment to include an attachment with the change order. Click Delete to delete an existing attachment.
4. Click Submit to submit the new version of the requisition for approval or Exit to stop working with it.
   • The new version of the requisition s identified by a version number, such as V2. The change order is noted on the History tab.
   • If you exit and choose to save the new version, it has a status of Composing and is listed on the Composing screen. You can edit the new version at a later time and then submit it for approval.
