    Hi Mairaj Ahmed,

    Let's make an example:

    You order 10 pcs for $100 / pcs.

    You receive 8 pcs and you post the invoice for $100 x 8 pcs = $800.

    If you 'play around' and receive the other 2pcs and post an invoice for $0 for those 2 pcs then your item cost prices fluctuate a lot and might lead to a deterioration in the inventory values. In my example you would have received 10 pcs for $800 or $80 / pcs.  That's a 20% lower value. At the end of the year usually the auditors check the price development in order to calculate and post some value adjustments. In my example they might come up and say that your whole inventory for this item is overvalued because prices dropped a lot recently...

    Therefore, the best option is to cancel out the rest just as Andre and Junaid mentioned.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Maira,

    If your PO is partially received and invoiced too then for remaining Qty. you can use "Delivery remainder" option from PO screen to cancel out the remaining Qty. and system will automatially change the status to invoiced.

    And if there are PO's against which you are not expecting to receive any Qty. then you can just simply select and cancel them and system will change the purchaes order status from OPEN TO CANCELED just to maintain the history instead of deleting them.

    Hi Maira,

    If you have POs where the lines were partially receipt, but the receipt quantity has been invoiced, you can cancel the delivery remainder. In that case, the PO's will also get the status Invoiced.

    Hello Maira.j,

    If you simply post an invoice for $0 or a small penny amount then you will get the items financially updated in your inventory. This might result in a large fluctuation of the cost price and inventory valuation if you usually pay a price for them.

    If the PO is just created but items have never been received then can't you simply delete those orders?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
