When closing Work Orders, there is a message that pops up if all PO's associated with that Work Order are not received, or not invoiced (RNI). Consequently, the Work Order(s) remain open.
Then later, when all Purchase Orders are indeed received and invoiced, there is no alternate message asking us if we want to now close the associated Work Order(s).
Anyone found a solution? We were thinking of a message similar to that we get when receiving PO's. If all lines are received, the system asks us if we want to close the Purchase Order.

I have one vendor that is dreadfully slow in invoicing-good for cash flow, bad for WO closing.  I keep the workorders that are ready to close to the side.  If they cross a month, which many do, I do a GJ entry to account for the over/under amount still left in the workorder.  Print a copy, attach to the workorder, reverse the GJ when actually closing.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed here.  
 
In our internal procedures, Production forwards Packling Slips to Accounting, along with a manual sheet indicating that the job is completed, i.e.: All labor has been posted, all materials have been issued, and the finished goods have been shipped. There will be no more costs accrued for the job, and the Quanity Completed is equal to Quantity to Make. The Sales Orders are then closed at invoicing.
 
However, many of our start-to-finish lead times are short, and we often ship completed goods before we even receive the invoices for the raw materials. The RNI (Received Not Invoiced) flag in DBA prevents the Work Order from being closed.  
 
We're not looking to have the system automatically close the Work Order. All we want is a message to pop up indicating that all the PO's associated with a Work Order have now been invoiced.
 
Thanks
