Such proposals can include one or more of the following:
- Moving a Release Item from a scheduled date to another date
- Splitting the scheduled Release Quantity of a Release Item between multiple Releases
However, such proposals, cannot include the following:
- Adding a new Item to the Purchase Order

NOTE:
1) Only one proposal can be ongoing for a Purchase Order any point in time
2) When the Expeditor or Supplier has proposed some changes, the other party cannot propose.
3) Such changes can be proposed only after the Supplier has accepted the Purchase Order
Step 1: From the list of Purchase Orders under the Purchase Orders list, against a Purchase Order, from the Action drop down, click on Propose Changes.
