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.
