Sometimes you need to make changes to a PO after you've issued it. You can also adjust a PO to handle overages, damages, or returns.
Note: back-orders or partially-received orders are handled using Receive Order (Mobile / Web app).
To learn more about correcting a PO after an order is received, read our Receive Order: Advanced Topics article.
How to issue a change order
- Open your PO from the dashboard.
If your PO has been received in full, it will be in the Order History tab.
- Scroll down to Attachments and attach your invoice.
Click Upload a file (or use drag-and-drop). If applicable, attach the invoice that you will match your order to.
- Click Change Order at the top-left of your ticket (scroll up).
- On the Edit Purchase Order page, you can make the following changes:
- Add new line items.
Click Add Purchase / Add Rental.
- Edit line items.
All fields are editable.
- Delete line items.
Delete items by selecting their checkbox and then clicking Delete on the top-right of the table.

This is your last chance to catch errors! If you find an error, click Close to make changes.
