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.

Hi harikka,

Also when you change Purchase Order status there are restriction 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.

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.

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.
