Overview

---

This article teaches how to change the start or end date referenced on a purchase order. You can do this by initiating a change order, and updating the period of performance. 

Essential Information

---

• Only the individual who submitted the requisition may process the change order.
  
  • If someone else would like to process the change order, they must reassign the requisition to themselves per the instructions in KB0032108: How to Assign a Shopping Cart or Requisition in Oracle Procurement.
• The period of performance on a purchase order is not required to be edited after the fact, as the PO will not close once the end date has been reached.
• It is more important to make sure quantity-based POs have sufficient quantities, and amount-based POs have sufficient amounts.
• If the PO has additional funds after the PO end date has been reached, the PO does not need to be closed.
• You only need to update the period of performance at the supplier's request or for your own department's records.
