Once a PO is fully approved and the status is Uncommitted or Open, all fields on the PO are editable. Detail lines within a partial PO that have a status of Open may be edited. If a line shows a status of Partial, it always needs to be reissued in order to change the amount or coding preferences, if codes are required for budgeting. Only the description in the Summary section can be edited on a closed PO. Closed detail lines within a partial PO may be cloned, instead of reissued.
