====== About Cancelling Orders ======

There are times when you need to cancel a purchase order, a line item, or an individual item on a line item. 

  * A purchase order, line item or copy can only be to be cancelled if the purchase order has been activated and has a status of On Order. 
  * Purchase orders, line items or copies that have a status of Received are not cancellable. 
  * Purchase orders that have not been activated, i.e. are still Pending, can be set for overnight deletion. See Setting a Pending Purchase Order for Overnight Deletion. Line items or copies can be removed from a purchase order that is still pending.
