    You will also have to take PO Returns into consideration. I know I modfied the Received Not Invoiced report to take this into consideration. It is for GP 10. I could send you the package file.

    Darry,

    Can you please give us your definition of 'unpaid PO' in as much detail as you can?

    yes it is for the total of all upaid PO's

    Scenario:

    Open POs:

    Vendor A: $2000

    Vendor B: $3000

    Vendor C: $4000

    Total on all POs: $9000

    Make payments to following POs:

    Vendor A : $2000

    Vendor B: $1000

     How do i generate a report to show that the total unpaid balance of outstanding POs to be $7000?

    Not sure if this scenario helps

    Francisco and Victoria, couldn't this be done with the PO Status report by modifying it in RW to add a vendor subtotal footer?   Maybe I am misdirected as far as what the question is.  I am assuming it is for the total of all unpaid PO's.

    Francisco, yes possibly.  And the other half may be something like this view: victoriayudin.com/.../sql-view-what-check-paid-purchase-order

    To me, the first step here should be defining the requirements very carefully based on the actual workflow in this organization.  I have worked with more than one company that entered POs and receipts in POP, but entered the invoices directly in AP (or PM).  Not how GP was designed to work exactly, but there are various reasons these companies had for doing it this way.  In those cases, none of this logic works.

    Victoria, could the Received not Invoice Report be kind of half of what the user needs?

    Re: how to determine total of all unpaid Purchase Orders?

    If I am understanding the question correctly, part of the problem will be that GP out-of-the-box does not apply or link payments to PO's.  So for example, if you need to prepay a PO, often there is no invoice, just a payment sitting on the Vendor account.  Or there is an invoice, but it's not tied to the PO, since the PO has not been received/invoiced yet.  Only when the PO is received and then invoiced and the payment is applied to that invoice can you see a relationship between payment and PO.  

    I think in most cases it should be possible to get this type of reporting done, but probably not with anything out-of-the-box in GP and not something generic that will work for all companies out there.  This would have to be a custom report that takes into consideration the specific workflow of your organization.  And it may require some changes (or at least standardization) to how transactions are entered to allow for accurate reporting.

    I cannot think of a single report that would give this information, but I think it would be the total of the received not invoiced report and the total of all new, released and change order PO's( PO status report).   These are all found under Reports>Purchasing/Analysis.
