Warehouse Receipts

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 171
WE are receiving an error when posting a Warehouse Receipt, stating that it cannot be posted because the Purchase Order has not been Approved and Released.  The Order has been approved and released.
Can see no reason why?
 
Has anyone come across this
 
NAV 2017
Completely Standard Warehousing and Workflows
 
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

    Hi, is it possible that the Purchase Order from the other line hasn't been approved yet? Because one Warehouse Receipt can be associated with multiple Purchase Orders.
    If you still can't figure out the cause, it is recommended to ask the developer to debug it.
     
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    It is approved, and is a one to one with a single Purchase Order

    It may be that there was a problem with the system during the approval process, and now the only option is for developers to modify the status directly.
     
     
    Thanks.

    To clarify the solution for this, in NAV 2017 there is a bug. When you post a Warehouse REceipt, the system tries to reopen the Purchase Order and change certain fields, this is why the error exists. But the fields the system is trying to change, are all those which can be changed when the Order is released anyway, so there is no need for this to be reopened. We have fixed this, but just removing the reopen instruction and it now works fine
