Purchase Orders are traditionally important commercial documents used by buyers and sellers of goods and services.
If you need to edit the already created and **Approved Purchase Order** document in Precoro, you can do it by using the **Revise** and **Edit Purchase Order** buttons on the right action panel.
### Editing Purchase Order Items with Revise Button
Using the **Revise** button, you can edit, add or delete any **information in item rows**.
**💡 Please note:** The revision can be done by either the Purchase Order **Initiator** or one of the **Approvers**. They can also revise the document on **Pending** or **Matching** statuses.
The Purchase Order is available for revision until it contains uninvoiced or unreceived items.
After making the changes, you can either **Confirm** or **Confirm** **and Restart Approval** (manually if needed). Please consult this article to learn more about [what changes will trigger the document re-approval process](https://help.precoro.com/how-does-re-approval-process-activation-work-in-documents?hsLang=en).
After the changes are confirmed, you can resend the document to the Supplier manually by clicking the **Send to Supplier** button.
##### Changing the Requester During a Revision
You can't change the Requester of a document you initiated while you're revising it.
Only the user who started a revision can confirm it. If you revise a document where you are the Requester and assign it to someone else, you lose access to the document before you can finish the revision. To prevent this, the **Requester** field becomes read-only in this case, and a tooltip next to it explains why.
**How to change the Requester in this case:**
Ask another user with the appropriate permissions to do it, for example a document Approver or a Super User. They need to press **Revise** on the document and select the new Requester in the edit form.
**💡 Tip:** If you're revising a document where someone else is the Requester, you can still change it. Just keep in mind that once you set yourself as the Requester, you won't be able to change it again during your own revisions.
### Using the Edit Purchase Order Button for Document Fields
By using the **Edit Purchase Order** button, you will be able to edit the document fields available to you. Please note that you can use this button without taking the document **In Revision**.
Also, consult this article to learn [what changes will trigger the document re-approval process](https://help.precoro.com/how-does-re-approval-process-activation-work-in-documents?hsLang=en). In case you have changed the fields that trigger re-approval, the document will obtain **Pending** Status, and the whole Approval Workflow will be launched once again.
Please note the following:
- If no changes were made when editing, the document will not be sent for approval again.
- Changes in Custom Fields for Items will not trigger the re-approval of the document if the **Budget** lines remain the same.
- Changes of Custom Fields for Items will not trigger the re-approval if the document’s budget does not include any Custom Fields for Items.
