Question 1

What does the purchase order change extractor read?

Accepted Answer

The change or document number, the issue date, the original PO number and date it amends, the change reason (enum, such as quantity adjustment, price revision, delivery date change, cancellation, or suspension), the change details, and the buyer and supplier names, addresses, and contacts.

Question 2

How is a PO change different from the original purchase order or a change order?

Accepted Answer

A purchase order change is an amendment to an existing PO: it references the original PO number and carries only the deltas, such as a revised quantity, price, or delivery date. The purchase order is the original order, and a change order amends a broader contract scope and value. For the original order use the purchase order extractor; for a contract amendment use the change order extractor.

Question 3

Which revised totals and terms come out?

Accepted Answer

The currency, the total change amount, the tax amount, the line extension total, the payment terms, the delivery date, the delivery address, the delivery terms (incoterms), and the count of affected lines each come back as fields.

Question 4

Are the changed line items returned as a table?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The line items table returns each line with its line number, the original line number it maps to, item code and description, the quantity change, the new total quantity, the unit price, the line amount, the line tax amount, and the line delivery date.

Question 5

Which reference fields come out, and what are the file limits?

Accepted Answer

The accounting cost center, the customer reference, and any free-form note each come back as fields. PDF only, up to 10MB and 100 pages; processed via the Talonic API for extraction only and not retained.
