# How do I update/edit/change a purchase order (PO)?

## Symptom

How do I update/edit/change a purchase order (PO)?

The PO needs to have information updated (quantity, subtotal, unit price, payment terms, etc.)

## Resolution

Suppliers cannot directly make changes/edits/updates to a PO. Your customer can submit a change order with edits. The change order will have the same PO number but a new version number.

In order to make changes you can [create an order confirmation](https://itsm.services.sap/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0397292) describing the edits that you wish to make or please [contact your customer](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/KB0392552) directly to ask them to submit changes.
