Relieving Encumbrance from Cancelled Purchase order Lines

(3) ShareShare

Posted on by 26

Hi

We are busy testing budget control for my client and with the testing I found that when we cancel the remainder on a Purchae order line, the encumbrance for the quantity that was cancelled are still showing and holding the funds under the Encumbrances. 

Purchase order line after the qty of 3 was cancelled: The Purchase order was submitted for approval again and is now Confirmed.

Looking at the budget control statistics, only the R4000 from the Invoiced Qty has moved to the Actual Expenditure and Relieved from the encumbrances.  The cancelled qty of 3 (R3000) is now still shown as an encumbrance and not removed as it won't become an actual anymore.

The only option that I found online in a AX2012 document is that the Purchase order has to be Finalized for this encumbrance to be relieved.

Is there any other possible way as the client do not want to Finalize orders that will prevent any other changes to the Purchase order in future. 

Hope to get a solution for this and any assistance is much appreciated. 

Thanks.

    Hello,

    The only way to relieve the encumbrance on a canceled quantity would be to finalize.  There are two different options to finalize.  One is on the line, the second is for the whole document.  One of the two has to be done to free up that encumbrance.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Thank you for yor feedback.  To finalize on the line will work for the client.  

    Do you know if it is possible to block the finalize button on the header of the Purchase order to prevent users to finalize the full purchase order?

    Dear All,

    Is there a different Finalize Header or Finalize Line?
