The purpose of the Change Purchaseorder is to request another business application to make changes to an existing Purchase Order. This change must refer to the original document and/or item ordered. The change processing assumes replacement of fields sent, with the exception the identifying fields of the Purchase Order.

If any of these key fields require changing, (i.e. the FreightInvoice Document Id or a LineNumber) that constitutes a cancellation of the request and/or the addition of another Purchase Order.
