Use Case: Amending Customer Purchase Orders

Business Context

When a pricing or discount correction is needed after a customer purchase order (PO) has been accepted, Conga Order Management for Salesforce enables the order to be amended without losing the history of the original transaction. A customer PO represents the negotiated products, quantities, and prices, and Conga validates it against the associated quote, contract, or price agreement.

You can amend a Customer Purchase Order to create a new version after accepting a purchase order and correcting any errors. You can only amend a CPO when the status is in Accepted or Partially Processed.

Requirement

The requirement is to amend a customer PO after it is accepted.

  1. Navigate to the Customer Purchase Orders tab.
    The Customer Purchase Orders page is displayed.
  2. Use the type-ahead to filter the list of purchase orders. Click the PO Number for the purchase order you want to view.
    The Customer Purchase Order detail page is displayed.
  3. Click Amend.
    A confirmation dialog is displayed.
  4. Click Yes to confirm the amend action:
    • A new version of the CPO is created and assigned the "In Amendment" status.
    • The Accept Button and Undo Amend buttons are enabled.
    • The status of the previous version is updated to "Being Amended."
  5. Add, Edit, or Delete a PO Item as required. For details, refer to Creating Customer Purchase Orders. You can add a new PO item or edit the quantity of an existing PO item as appropriate.
  6. Click Accept.
    The status of the PO and its line items changes to "Accepted." The status of the previous version changes to "Superseded."
