# Why is my purchase order Obsoleted?

## Symptom

Why does my purchase order have an order status of **Obsoleted**?

## Resolution

If your purchase order has a status of **Obsoleted**, that means your customer has likely created a new version of the order. To locate the new version, you can [search by purchase order number.](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/KB0406871) This will display all versions of the order. The version with an order status of **Changed** is the one you will have to work with.

If your customer has not sent you a new version of the order, then you should [contact them](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/106682).
