Use this form to track the changes that you made to purchase orders. Changes are visible in the form only when a purchase order is confirmed or reconfirmed, or when changes to the purchase order are approved through workflow.

The form displays a node tree, where the top-level node is the purchase order. The purchase lines appear as second level nodes. Underlying transactions appear as third and fourth level nodes. When you click a node, the right hand window refreshes to show the fields and the changes.

Note

Workflow is enabled only if you select the Activate change management check box in the Procurement and sourcing parameters, Create purchase order, or Vendors form.
