"There is nothing to post because the document does not contain a quantity or amount." When posting a Purchase Order

Hello, 

I have a purchase order that has one partially received item. We ordered 24 units, we got only 7, we deleted the partial reception and went to post it. However, we got the following error.

All the items were fully received except by one. Now we're stuck because we can't reverse the reception and we cant post it.

    You don't have to do anything else on this order. If its me I would just delete it manually to finish the order.

    You had 24 originally but you only received 7 so you posted a receipt and invoiced 7 - your entries are correct. Business Central didnt automatically delete this PO because it thinks you are still waiting to receive/invoice the remaining amount, but as that is not the case, you can just go ahead and delete the purchase order.
