5 There are a number of order cancellation scenarios available. Each depends on the configuration of your user profile and the configuration of the supplier. The following **options to cancel** an order may be available to you and are explained below:
6 * **Before submitting (shopping basket)**
7 This option is always available whilst the Shopping Basket is being created. Delete the relevant supplier element of the basket before it is submitted as a purchase requisition. No audit record is kept of cancellations before submission since no document is created.
8 * **During approval and before transmission (order requests)**
9 The option to cancel an Order Request before a Purchase Order is transmitted to the supplier is always available to the user irrespective of user and supplier configuration.
10 * **After approval and transmission–user has change order permissions**
11 Orders can always be cancelled after being transmitted to the supplier if the user has change order rights. PECOS will create an editable zero value change order.
12 * **After approval and transmission–user does not have change order permissions**
13 Transmitted orders can only be cancelled by a user without change order rights if the supplier profile allows order cancellation. PECOS will create a non-editable zero value change order.
