Restoring an Archived Purchase Order?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by john.ellis 3,482

Hi:

Upon searching on "purchase order archives", I noticed that there is no "Restore" action for restoring an archived purchase order.

Can you not restore an archived purchase order?

Thanks!

John

    Hello,

    if you don't want to use the copy function then you have to build your own procedure for restoring Archived Purchase Orders.

    TransferFields() will do the most of the work for the header and the lines

    but:

    you have to care for

    - RecordLinks

    - several fields with quantities ("Quantity Received", and so on)

    - ItemChargeAssignment --> a tough nut to crack because you have to recreate it from ledger Entries

    - Purch Line Comments

    John,

    Yes, restore is not the functional action but you have the ability within Purchase Orders to use Copy Document and copy Archives, Quotes, Orders, Posted Invoices to the new Purchase Order.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hi, I also don't know why Sales has it, but Purchase doesn't......

    As mentioned by several experts above, at present you can only use Copy Document to restore.

    Copy purchase document let's you copy a archived purchase order back to a normal purchase order.

    Hi

    There is no function to restore PO. Only methods are

    1) Development. Basically copy restore function from sales document and update it PO.

    2) Use copy document if you need exact PO.

    Thanks
