Purchase Order - Received Partialy

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a Purchase Order with quantity=800 units, but my vendor only can supply me 750units.
The warehouse employer receive and putaway 750units and the purchase order was posted. Process is correct up to this point: the system keeps showing the rest (50units - Scheduled Receipt).

How we can remove this 50 units if the purchase order as finished and we never receive this quantity?

    Hi Ricard,

    All purchase orders that are fully received are automatically deleted anyway, so if you no longer need to receive the PO, you can delete the PO.

    Hello Teddy, but I get this error: The Purchase Line cannot be deleted when a related Warehouse Receipt Line exists.

    My vendor initially can provide me this 800units, but actually, due to manufacturing problems, my vendor only provideme 750units and we posted purchase invoice this 750units.

    Try altering the quantity to be level with the qty. received. Once done chose Post. If everything has been handled already it should hopefully remove the PO. If you want a copy of it ensure archiving is turned on in the purchase & payables setup.

    Hi Josh, in which document modify the quantity?

    In the PO or in the Wareh.Receipt I can't modify it.

    Hi Ricard, try reopening the PO and modifying the quantity in the line from 800 to the 750. The Quantity to receive should then be 0.

    Hi Ricard,

    Thanks for clarifying. I now understand the issue and have replicated it in my BC environment.

    I have found a similar issue in this forum posting, it is from a while ago and for NAV but issue remains similar https://bit.ly/37UfY7G

    It seems like the solution is that if the warehouse employee has already posted the 750 items, then you will need to it delete the warehouse receipt that is still expecting the remaining 50 items (this should not effect the posted warehouse receipt for the 750). Once you have done that you are then able to modify the quantity on the PO line to invoice.

    I suggest that you replicate the issue in your Sandbox environment or test company to be sure that this satisfies your expectations.

    Hope that helps.

    Regards,

    Martin
