Marketplace orders - Grants ending and unwanted items

Marketplace orders
When a Marketplace order is approved, an xml document is generated and sent to the supplier. The supplier will not be aware of any subsequent amendments, such as closing or cancelling.

It is the responsibility of the department to inform the supplier of any changes.

 
Order or item not required
Orders or lines should be cancelled, not closed.
A note left with an explanation, and the supplier informed to prevent unwanted goods or invoices.
 
Grant ending on unfulfilled orders
If distributions need changing there are two options
  1. Cancel the order, leaving a note, raise a new order and inform the supplier of the change.
  2. When the invoice is received, correct the distributions in AP.
