Example: Updating Purchase Order Commitments 

In the invoice verification for your purchase order, you post an invoice receipt for three PCs at USD 2000.00.

The invoice value is therefore USD 500.00 higher for each PC than the purchase order value. For that reason, the actual costs increase for both of the delivered PCs by USD 1,000.00. The commitment value for the outstanding PC increases by USD 500.00. In reporting for the internal order, the following actual and commitment values are displayed:
