Incomplete PO Change Order
PO change requests will show in ‘Incomplete’ status if they are not submitted for approval.
Creating and saving the change requests is an incomplete process and Oracle Cloud will move it to ‘Incomplete’ queue. When a PO has an incomplete change against the PO cannot be closed.
Why does an Incomplete change order status occur? If the change order is saved but not submitted or if a change order is saved and an error occurs which will not allow user to submit the change request.
When editing a PO if you choose not to proceed or get an error and are unsure what to do.
Always go to Actions and select delete. This will remove the change order. If you simply close the screen the incomplete change will remain applied to the PO.
Below will show how to remove and how to submit an incomplete change order.
