Hi,

We have over 4000 plus products and we use the product life cycle to manage the dormant or rundown products. Occasionally we have products that we have a GRNI for and purchase ledger need to invoice against it, however the stock management teams have changed the product life cycle to one which is blocked for purchase orders. Which is fine because we do not want the business to raise any more purchase orders against these products but the problem with the purchase order block is that it also prevents any invoicing to be processed. Its a rare occurrence, but not ideal that the invoicing for a GRNI would be blocked when processing the purchase invoice. See below our selections in the policy.

Is there anything that can be done to prevent any future purchase orders but still allow for goods receipts against a PO to be cleared using a purchase invoice?

Cheers
