PO Status after approved with prepayment %

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Samantha73 3,297

Hi All

We have an approval process enabled for purchase order and all works fine except PO status shown.  The process flow is as below:

1. Create PO with Open Status

2. Enter Prepayment % (but do not create an actual prepay invoice)

3.Submit for approva1

4.Approver , approves PO

After the step 4 above, purchase order status change to "pending prepayment" instead of released and this is inconsistent because without the approval process, you have to post a prepayment AP invoice before status changes to pending prepayment

Thanks

I have the same question (0)

    So do you mean you want the prepayment forced before an approval can be done? Might be you need another PO workflow. If prepayment is true then the status must be pending prepayment for the workflow to fire. This is configuration on the workflow itself. Create another for regular POs

    Actually what I want is something simple..In above scenario once the approval is done status should be set to "released" instead of pending prepayment

    That might be your requirement but it’s not the systems. If the prepayment hasn’t been dealt with it is still pending. You have setup in purchase & payables showing it will release the document associated to a paid prepayment. It’s not something I would alter when more functionality sits behind
