# Fishbowl: "Purchase Order has been voided"

> A PO you're trying to work with is in voided status and can't be used for this operation.

## What it means

A purchase order in voided status has been cancelled but kept in the system. You're likely trying to receive, bill, or edit this PO, but Fishbowl won't allow operations on voided orders.

## What to check

- Was the PO voided on purpose? Ask your team or check the PO audit trail.
- If it was an error, the PO needs to be unvoided to use it again.
- If the voiding was correct, you may need a different active PO for this transaction instead.
