In our world an EDI PO is a contract too....we can't legally edit the PO to make it correct. Never, never, no, no. If we know they ordered the wrong thing we can 1) not accept it or 2) accept it and ship them the wrong thing. That second option is non-value added activity though, I might add, and expensive on all fronts.
