Charlie,
A general "why" field for explaining revisions doesn't exist natively. Most companies would simply use the existing memo capability and have Buyers enter text notes explaining changes.
Internally, PO entry has a ton of fields which are SUPPOSED to be tracking critical PO changes to enable a rollback (a.k.a.: prior release qty, unit price or date before an edit was made).
A few more appear to actually being maintained by the application in 405a then were in 404 and 403 - but still many or carrying null values or zeroes.
We leverage the change logs. Decide what fields you want to keep an audit trail on and then the change log records can be read and rolled into either a true net PO change notice or (in your case) perhaps a revision detail report.
None of this will explain WHY a Buyer made a PO change however (if that is what you are after)... For that you might just want to utilize one of the ud character fields in an existing table and leverage that.

All,
I am working on The PO entry module of vantage. I have been asked to add a
field to the form that is printed out that shows the nature of a revision
that has been made to the PO. Currently I am not finding a field that would
allow me to enter this information on the PO Entry module. My first question
is does vantage provide a field on the po entry module for this. Or do I
need to do some custom work to capture this information.
