Posted on by 416

Hi All,

I have confusion with Purchase Order Approval Status (Finalized).

How do know why the approval status change to finalized?

Is there any process need to be perform before the status change to finalized?

If approval status is confirmed, when the approval status will change to finalized?

Thanks

    Great. Please know there is also a batch job under periodic section "Finalize purchase order", see if that's already setup to run OR if someone is running it manually. That may be the reason.

    Another thing you should check is - Check if modifieddatetime is enabled on purchTable, see if it's same time as batch job would update the PO's together and then no changes can be done as it's already finalized. Give this a try. If this doesn't help, try setting up alerts/database log and try to trace the root cause / user who is finalizing these purchase orders.

    Hi Satish Panwar,

    I have read the detail on the PO status. I do understand that finalize mean, there would be not changes can be made. I also know that we can finalize the PO by clicking finalize button on the header.

    There is a part where I dont get it, where we do not practice to to finalize the PO. But somehow the PO are finalized itself. Thy why I wonder, if there any process or setup can be made to make this automatically working?

    Therefore, I need to know if we do not click on the finalize button on the Purchase Header how does the PO get finalized?

    Thanks

    Hi Adhha Adnan,

    Please take a look at link below that explains different statuses:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../purchase-order-approval-confirmation

    Finalize status means - no changes are allowed and PO is now closed (Invoiced). To finalize PO, there is button on the top header. see below.. should be similar in AX2012.
