14.06 / Canceling or Modifying a Purchase Order
When it is necessary to alter an open purchase order, contact the
Office
of Purchasing immediately. Minor changes can normally be made
without
penalty charges being assessed by the vendor, but approval by both the
Office of Purchasing and the vendor is required.
The cancellation of an open purchase order without just cause
constitutes
the breaking of a contract and will require the vendor's approval. If
the
vendor has incurred expenses regarding the order, prior to
cancellation,
a settlement for any nonrecoverable costs may be due the vendor.
