Title: trying to close PO with unreceived items
Post by cathyh on 11/30/05 at 09:11:23

When closing a PO with unreceived items, the message says first "you have $x amount of items that have not been received" which I expect, but then it says "YOu have $Y that has not been invoiced" when that amount has been invoiced and posted and is no longer in RNI.
I tried zeroing out the line item before closing and that didn't fix the problem. The solution is to close it anyway, but why is it saying that? It sends my AP person into a highly agitated state. Fortunately we rarely only partially receive a PO and then try to close it. Is there a best practice for this that I don't know about?

What I do when there is stuff left on a PO that we aren't going to receive (which happens a lot here) is just edit the PO so that the amount is now 0. I answer "No" to "Change Original Quantity?" and save it.

I usually do this after I receive the PO into inventory and see that there is a shortage. That way I can close the PO semi-automatically when the Invoice is posted.
