Purchase Order has been received and is still open with a $0 amount

Hi, 

 

I am new to using Dynamics GP. I know I am on version a of Dynamics GP 2018 that was updated in 2023. 

 

When I view my open purchase orders I see quite a bit of PO's that I have already received all the items for. For the invoices related to these PO's I did a receiving transaction entry (type: shipment/invoice).  I no longer have to receive items related to these PO's. In my list of the open PO's, they are showing a remaining subtotal of $0.00 and a PO Status of /Released/.  A lot of these are in years past and that year has already been reconciled and closed.  What is the best course of action to clean these up? 

 

I did some digging online and it seems that I can go into Edit Purchase Orders and change the status to /Closed/.  When I pull my open PO list back up, the PO that I updated the status to as /Closed/ is now gone. I can still look up this PO, via Purchase Order Inquiry, as it has moved into history. Will this affect anything discrepancies in the back-end, or cause any reports related to those accounts they were coded to to be off in the current month/year? 

 

Any help or insight to this is greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers!

    You are on the right track with using Edit Purchase Orders.  That will change the status of the PO to Closed.

    If you want the closed POs to move to history - helps with keeping the Purchase Order inquiry windows when set to Open - you can do the next step of running the routine to Remove Completed Purchase Orders.  (This name is a bit deceiving ... It is actually moving Closed POs from Open to History tables. Do NOT confuse it for the destructive Remove Purchasing History utility as that deletes data.)
