Purchase Orders - Create Change Order Comment Field now required

As of Thursday, November 19 the “comment field” is now required when entering Purchase Order (PO) Change Orders. 

Currently, when reviewing a Change Order, any alterations made are not easily identifiable. This often adds a considerable amount of time to the review process. Now when individuals enter a Change Order, they should include a detailed comment describing the changes made. This will greatly improve the efficiency of the PO Change Order review and approval process.

When creating a Change Order, the comment field is displayed below the order line(s), as shown below:

Starting Thursday, November 19, 2020, individuals entering a PO Change order be required to provide a reason for it in the Comment box highlighted above.
