Old Purchase Orders

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 40

Hi,

I'd like to clear old purchase orders from the system. Some are duplicated POs and others have a remaining balance that won't be received. I've read previous replies on this topic and I don't want to receive and invoice and then do credit memos, there are too many.

When I select a PO, I can delete it if there's no quantity to invoice. This way it disappears from the screen Purchase Orders and I can find it in Purchase Orders Archive. I tested this easy procedure and it seems to give the results I'm looking for. Can someone confirm if I'm missing something. Thanks.

    Yup, you can delete the POs if Quantity to Invoice is Zero. So, what you are doing is right. Credit Memos are for reversing the impact of Invoice.

    If the purchase & payables setup has archiving turned on for purchase orders then the result you are seeing takes place.
