## About this task

Keep the following in mind when you cancel a purchase order line item.

-   When a purchase order line item is canceled, if all other line items are also canceled, the purchase order is canceled.
-   After a purchase order line item is canceled, it can be reordered if the associated purchase order has not been canceled or received.
-   If you cancel a purchase order line item for which assets were created, the assets are deleted from the system and removed from the purchase order.
-   If you reorder the same purchase order line item, the assets are recreated for that line if the line has a status of **Pending Delivery**.
