Purchase Order Close Short Workbench

March 4, 2026

A new workbench in SMART is now available for use by all agencies called the Purchase Order (PO) Close Short Workbench. This new workbench simplifies preparing POs to be closed when the entire dollar amount is not used by creating the Change Order and automatically reducing the dollar amount or quantity down to the vouchered amounts on selected lines. 

If a contract is associated, the process will return the funds back to the contract in addition to releasing the encumbered agency funds

This functionality removes the need to manually adjust purchase orders to the vouchered amounts. 

Job Aid Using PO Close Short Workbench has replaced “Closing a Contract PO Not Used in Full”. 

Thank you,

The SMART Team
