Why Purchase Order posting in Open status allowed?
what is the difference between open and released status in purchase order?

Based on what you choose on the Post Options, Receive or Invoice, it will check for Qty. to Receive or Qty to Invoice Fields on the purchase line if it did not find any lines with value in those fields you will get that message.
Why does the alert with a message " there is nothing to post" is displayed while posting PO?
Thank You.
Many client wants approval on the document before they are actually posted, so the concept of maker and checker is applied, in that case status option comes in place.
Hi harikka,
Also when you change Purchase Order status there are restrictions to change data in Purchase Order
Open
You can make changes to the document.
Released
The document has been released to the next stage of processing and you cannot make changes to lines of type Item and Fixed Asset. To release a document, click Functions, Release, or Ctrl-F11.
You can reopen a released document if you want to make changes to its contents by clicking Functions, Reopen. To move the adjusted document to the next stage of processing, you must once again release the document.

Thank You, Any specific reason behind posting PO with open status ?
Hi Harikka,
It is possible to post Order in Open status.
You can use Released Status when Purchase Order is prepared to posting and some of repost you can print only when you have status Released.
