The Close Order (POC) document closes an open PO. When you close an order, all encumbrances associated with the remaining items are disencumbered. Items already paid are unaffected. This option should be used only when there are payment requests against the PO. You must enter a reason when initiating the PO close action.
The document layout of the POC document is identical to that of the original PO, with an additional notation regarding the status in the Document Header. A notation also displays at the top of the PO document, such as 'Warning: There is a pending action on this Purchase Order.'
When the POC document is successfully submitted, the General Ledger Pending Entries tab shows the transactions to disencumber remaining encumbrances on this PO.
