We often receive purchase orders where the item is short shipped which results in a "balance due" left on the purchase order.  It would be awesome if we could clear that "back order" field in PO-C.  I know on the sales order side, they can zero out the back order field when they release a sales order for shipping/invoicing.  It would be nice if the purchasing agent could do the same thing.  Right now he either has to change the ordered amount in the po before he goes in to receive it, or he has to manually close the po at PO-K.  Just a thought.
