Active

When Active, a particular format will be available for use within the system.  De-activating a format that is currently associated with a Purchase Order (PO) will have no effect on that PO (that is, that format will continue to be used for that PO).   De-activating a format indicates that it can no longer be associated when defining a PO.

Essentially, de-activating a format prevents it from being associated with anything that it is not already associated.
