We are new in Microsoft Dynamics Business Central. We would like to know on how to check if a Posted Purchase Receipt has already invoiced so as to avoid double payment incase. 

I have the same question (0)

    Hi,

    Posted Purchase Receipt is only a Receiving Document for goods/services while Payment is made for financial document that is Posted Purchase Invoice. You can get a record of all Invoices and Payments from Detailed Vendor Ledger Entries.

    System will not Invoice same quantity again. The rule is we cannot Invoice a quantity unless it is received and directly there is no relation from Posted Purchase Receipt to Posted Purchase Invoice. Its reason is one Purchase Receipt can be Invoiced in multiple Invoices or one Posted Purchase Invoice is for many Purchase Receipts. Posted Purchase Receipt has Purchase Order No. and then from Purchase Order you can find all the Receipts and Invoices posted.

    Additionally in Purchase Order line you have fields to see Quantity, Quantity to Receive, Quantity Received, Quantity to Invoice and Quantity Invoiced.

    Hi that was really helpful! Basically what we're gonna pay are those only that we received. That's why we based it on the Purchase Receipts. How to check if a certain PO is Invoiced without going through each POs one by one?

    If a Purchase Order is completely invoiced it will be removed from Purchase Order table. And other than this obviously you pay to a vendor ledger entry of type Invoice and that cannot be created unless it is received as per the rule in previous post.

    If you want to check linked invoices for posted purchase receipts then you can use the line level, Item Invoice Lines option

    Yes, on line level we can use this option. Thanks

    I have a follow question on this, we created a Purchase Credit Memo to cancel the Purchase Invoice, will the cancelled Purchase Invoice still reflect under this line or not?

    We also tried creating new invoice for the Purchase Receipt but we could no longer get those receipt lines.
