10.10 Amendment to Purchase Order, CO-95
FORM NAME: AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE ORDER
PURPOSE: Submitted or electronically transmitted to the Comptroller's Accounts Payable Division for all amendments to the existing terms and conditions (including price changes) of
original purchase order. Adjustments to accounting codes and/or commitment amounts should be processed using a Commitment Adjustment/Deletion form CO-958.

Paperless agencies must hold all commitment documents until they ave verified the documents are valid on CAS. After they are valid ("V"), they should be promptly submitted to the Accounts Payable Division for pre-audit.

DISTRIBUTION: VENDOR, COMPTROLLER, BUREAU OF PURCHASES, AGENCY, RECEIVING

COMPLETION INSTRUCTIONS:

Amendment to purchase orders must be submitted in batches with a commitment batch list, form C0-96, attached as the cover sheet.

This form may be used for any adjustment to the original or previously adjusted purchase order (C0-94). Amendment to purchase orders reflect only the change to a purchase order, i.e. net change of amounts from a price increase. Form C0-95 must be used whenever there is a price increase or any other change in terms, except for an allowance of up to 10% for bulk commodities.

Changes to purchase orders for personal property leasing, rental, maintenance, or EDP services must have a new approved SP-10 attached for purchases of $10,000 and over.

Amendments to purchase orders for the installment purchase of equipment must have the FAC approval attached for the change.

ACCOUNTING MANUAL 5-71 OCTOBER 1998

To deobligate a purchase order with "9-9" as the obligated amount complete the following steps:

Paper Processing Agencies:

  1. Decommit any remaining balance, if applicable, in block #21,
  2. The obligated amount in the accounting system reads: 999999999999999 (15 digits).
  3. The total expended amount must be subtracted from the above figure.
  4. The difference is then entered in block # 22 in parenthesis on the purchase order amendment, form CO-95.

Paperless Processing Agencies:

  1. The obligated amount in the Central Accounting System reads: 999999999999999 (15 digits). However since your accounting system has fewer digits you cannot enter a 15 digit number into your system.
  2. Prepare a manual file change to deobligate the difference between CAS obligated amount and your obligated amount. Submit the Commitment Adjustment/Deletion Form CO-958, with document type FC to the Comptroller's Accounts Payable Division.
  3. After the file change has posted, you will still need to decommit the remaining amount of the obligation. You should follow steps 3 and 4 to fully remove this amount.
