Configure the Purchase Order Acknowledgement Event
business process and security policy in the Procurement functional area.

To enable users to create and manage POAs, select:

Acknowledge

from the related actions menu of an issued purchase order.

Set the acknowledgement status for unacknowledged purchase order lines.

Select the Accepted with Changes
status to enable editing of purchase order line fields.

(Optional) Select attachment categories to specify the type of document.

Workday updates the POA header status to Invalid
when the customer approves a change order for the purchase order.

Workday updates the POA header acknowledgment type to reflect the Acknowledgment Type Code in the EDI 855 specification:

Acknowledgment Type	Description
Accepted	All purchase order lines in the POA document are in Accepted status.
Acknowledged	At least 1 of the purchase order lines in the POA document is in 1 of these statuses: Accepted Accepted with Changes Rejected
Rejected	All purchase order lines in the POA document are in Rejected status.
Unacknowledged	All purchase order lines in the POA document are in Unacknowledged status.

Schedule change orders from POAs.
