We have thousands of old open Purchase Orders in D365FO, some of them around 5 years old. Most remain open because certain purchase lines were never received.
We are trying to use Procurement and Sourcing > Periodic Tasks > Clean Up > Open Purchase Line Maintenance to bulk cancel the remaining quantities (Deliver Remainder = 0).
However, our environment has Change Management enabled, and the process does not allow updates on Confirmed Purchase Orders unless we first perform a Request Change. After that, the PO must be resubmitted through the workflow and confirmed again. For a large volume of old POs, this approach is not practical.
My questions are:
Is there any standard functionality that allows bulk cancellation of remaining quantities on Confirmed Purchase Orders without performing Request Change?
Is there any parameter, feature, or best practice that can simplify this process for a large volume of historical open POs?
How have others handled the cleanup of thousands of legacy open Purchase Orders in D365FO?
Any recommendations or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Before answering your questions, is there any specific reason why those PO were not handled in the initial stage.
1. We don't have any out of the box feature availble in D365Fo for bulk cancellation but we can achive the same using customization.
2. We don't have any such features in D36FO.
3. With customization we can achieve the same to handle all the legacy PO's
Kindly let us know if you are looking for an additional information.
Thanks,
Subra
