Purchase Order without Quantity/Unit Cost

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi,

Is it possible to create Purchase Orders with only a total and no quantity/unit cost? With other systems I have issued Purchase Orders to consultants, freight companies, local hotel, etc that are charged to a GL account but not with a quantity. We set the PO with a preset dollar amount and draw down on it as the invoices come in but don't want a specific quantity/unit cost as the amounts vary.

I have searched across a few Nav forums and found one old post that you can't do it but it was a few years old so I wanted to see if there was a way to do it now. We have just implemented Nav 2017.

Thanks

Hi,

there still isn't such possibility. The way NAV works - all lines have to have the Quantity. Usually companies just put '1' and when matching PO to the Invoice, on the invoice put '1' as Quantity as well. Of course, there are some drawbacks if you receive multiple invoices for one PO as you might need to 'manipulate' the Quantity, etc. That very much depends on your process of PO approvals and matching invoices.
