Cancel external POs after supplier confirmation
Close the loop on cancelled orders by turning a supplier confirmation into the correct Coupa PO action.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Cancel External PO
Tool to cancel an external purchase order. Use when you need to cancel an externally-created PO that has not yet been fully processed or has related documents that need to be cleared first.
Why this helps
Cancelled orders linger as active POs because supplier confirmations remain trapped in inboxes.
- Prevents obsolete POs from lingering
- Preserves supplier confirmation context
- Flags related document blockers
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Coupa in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Supplier PO cancellation.
- 3Tell Notis to identify explicit supplier cancellation confirmations, match the external PO, cancel it, and report any related documents that block the action.
- 4Pick New Outlook Message as the trigger and choose where reports go.
- 5Test with one real cancellation confirmation.
Questions about this workflow
What if related documents must be cleared first?
Notis should report the blocker and leave the PO unchanged until it is resolved.
Can it cancel an internal PO?
Use this workflow only for external purchase orders supported by the Coupa action.
