Can't post a Purchase Order due to the following error "Amount must be Negative.."

Posted on by Mesam 95

We have a PO for which we posted 100% of prepayment.

Then we partially posted some quantities from the lines of this PO.

Later when we come back to post the fully, we got the following error

Upon doing some research, I realized if on the line that we are trying to fully post if I add a 0.002 online discount amount I can get this error fixed, but the line discount amount does not accept more than 2 decimal places.

The assistance I request the community from is how can I solve this and why I have a 0.002 difference. I just need to post my PO and get rid of this error.

    It looks like you have changed quantities or prices and when you process prepayments, you cannot do anything that affects the total dollars.

    Your options might be to issue a Prepayment Credit Memo, then post the invoice and followup by applying the credit memo to the invoice....you want them to be the same amount or you will still have cleanup to do.

    Hi

    Is this in your local currency or it is in foreign currency?

    If it is in local currency what do you have in General Ledger Setup under  Amount Rounding Precision (LCY)

    if it is in foreign currency what do you in the currency card for "Amount Rounding Precision (LCY)"

    Hi,

    Are you trying to post the PO as Invoice? It must be post as Receive.
