This page provides instructions of suppressing a purchase order (PO) commitment in CMS.

Suppressing a purchase order commitment in CMS does not delete the Hard Commitment from the Oracle system. However, the commitment is permanently removed from CMS and OBI reports.

What Happens Next?
  • The total remaining commitment is immediately decreased in the Commitment View of the Requisition and Purchase Order Query. The date that you suppressed the commitment and your SUNet ID will be displayed.
  • Reports will reflect your changes the next day.
  • If Accounts Payable later receives an invoice for this Purchase Order, they WILL be able to process it and it WILL be reflected as an actual expenditure; suppressing the commitment merely removes it from your reports.
