Return PO Qty when Remaining Qty < Quantity of Item Ledger Entry

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 295

The PO Qty=60

Received =60

Invoice Qty =0

I used 23 so the remaining = 37

I want to cancel 20 qty, I only need to receive 40

So I tried to undo the receipt but system raise Error.

Remaining Quantity must be equal to '60' in Item Ledger Entry: Entry No.=293290. Current value is '37'.

    You have two options you can add a line with  -20 in qty on your PO.

    Or you can create a purchase credit memo.

    Hi,

    For this , you should create Credit Memo for this. This is the only solution.

    Hi, Using Sales Credit Memo to return the used 23 is the most correct thing to do.

    Or you can invoice these 60 first, and then create Purchase Credit Memo and return them all.

    Hope this helps as well.

    Thanks.

    Thank Amit,

    Could you share the risk if I add -20 to PO as Bruvik suggested. Did you face any issue with this way when you said The Credit Memo is only solution ?

    The method of adding a negative line to the credit memo is completely risk free. 

    The only thing you need to control is that you can not have the sum of amounts on negative lines be greater than the sum of amounts on the positive lines.

    Because then you would basically post an invoice.

    So as long as the sum of line amounts are greater than 0 you are all good with my method.
