Presently, we receive a product from our customers that is integral to our manufacturing operations. Since we don't make any payments for this material, no invoices are generated. However, we track the inventory of this item to assist in production planning and reorder processes. When we receive the material into our warehouse, we adhere to a standardized procedure using purchase orders to ensure consistency.
Despite following the same registration process for material entry into the system, the registered material remains in a state of /registered not invoiced./ Is there a mechanism to facilitate an automatic progression through this stage without resorting to the creation of a fictitious invoice and payment to close the purchase order?
