In standard Maximo, the moment a PO is "Approved" it becomes a locked box that only a Buyer can touch… and then something changes. Price, quantity, delivery date, etc ... What follows is a mess:

Technicians chase buyers just to fix a simple date or quantity.

Buyers spend their day retyping someone else’s edits.

Finance deals with blocked invoices because the PO doesn’t match reality.

Managers have no visibility into what changed or why.

The truth is: You can’t have downstream accuracy if your PO is locked upstream. When changes happen outside the system, everything breaks:

Maintenance slows down.

Parts take longer to come.

Approvals lose trust.

Invoices don’t match.

With P2Insight’s PO Change Request Technicians and engineers submit structured change requests directly in Maximo, and the system automatically routes approvals, and once approved automatically creates a clean, accurate PO revision for final buyer release.

✅ Technicians can now request changes instantly without leaving the job

✅ Buyers review and approve pre-vetted requests instead of retyping data

✅ Finance gets clean three way match every time

✅Managers get full audit trail on every change

But most importantly you get your parts much faster, increasing wrenchtime, and uptime!
