Body
This guide will cover:
A Change Order is used to modify quantities or amounts, change the chartfield string, or add lines on Purchase Orders. This change is initiated in the WyoCloud Financial Management system and triggers the approval workflow if a line is added, the amount or quantity increases, or if there are changes to the account being charged. All other changes, e.g., less quantity/amount will result in an automatic approval process.
If a Change Order places the transaction into a new cost bracket, approver determination will be based on the new total cost. See the Approvals for Finance Transactions DAPP found on the Financial Affairs Website>Policies and Reference Material>Procurement and Payment Services for additional information. In addition, the Quote and Bid Threshold Policy’s stipulations may need to be considered if a new cost backet occurs. The policy is found on the Financial Affairs Website>Policies and Reference Material>Procurement and Payment Services.

See Modify the Requisition QRG for instructions on how to modify the Requisition before or after it has been submitted and prior to its approval. Once the Requisition is approved, it automatically dispatches to the supplier as a Purchase Order.
