Mass close open PO's

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Is there a way, other than going into SQL, that I can close a group of open PO's?  

thanks!

    I wish there was. I create a smartlist for the open purchase orders , then run the following macro (GP2010)

    # DEXVERSION=11.00.0359.000 2 2

    CheckActiveWin dictionary 'SmartList'  form 'ASI_Explorer' window 'ASI_Explorer'

     MoveTo field 'ASI_GoTo_List' item 1  # 'View'

     ClickHit field 'ASI_GoTo_List' item 4  # 'Edit Purchase Order Status'

    NewActiveWin dictionary 'default'  form 'POP_Edit_PO_Status' window 'POP_Edit_PO_Status'

    ActivateWindow dictionary 'default'  form 'POP_Edit_PO_Status' window 'POP_Edit_PO_Status'

    ActivateWindow dictionary 'default'  form 'POP_Edit_PO_Status' window 'POP_Edit_PO_Status'

     ClickHit field 'PO Status' item 2  # 'Closed'

     MoveTo field 'Process Button P'

     ClickHit field 'Process Button P'

    I prefer to use macros in situations like this.

    Hi Jeanne!

    I have actually seen this question a few times pop up in cases. Unfortunately as Mahmoud has mentioned there is no way to quickly close a group of open PO's. You would have to use the "Edit Purchase Order window" for each individual PO this is the support method. An unsupported method would be going into the SQL tables and updating them.

    I do however recommend creating a product suggestion for this if one has not already been submitted as I do believe that this would be a great product suggestion. Our development team looks at the suggestions for features to add to future releases.  Here’s the link to the suggestion page.

    If you do create a product suggestion please post the link so others can vote on it as well.

    Best regards,

    The SQL method is absolutely the quickest but it would not give you the validation provided on the application level. I would go for a Macro tool on the "Edit Purchase Order window" to achieve such target, in this essence, the available status to which it can be changed shows up according to every purchase order case, such as fully received and invoiced or still partially received ...etc

    I have considered both methods, it still depends on how much you are aware of the data to be manipulated.

    Your feedback is highly appreciated,
