GP2013 R2-Needing to cancel a PO qty created off a Requisition

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi Folks.  I'm on GP2013 R2.  I'm not using workflow. I'm not using the POP and SOP commitment functionality.   I've created a requisition and have converted that to a Purchase Order.   In the PO, I would now like to cancel the qty ordered but I receive a message saying that the line can't be cancelled as the remaining qty does not satisfy the commitmens for this line item.   Does anyone know how I can cancel the qty in the PO please?

Many thanks

    I just came accross this after upgrading from 2010 to 2015 R2.

    With a PO tied to a requisition, you cannot change the PO Status or the Line Item Status.

    BUT - In 'Edit Purchase Orders', if you change the Quantity Cancelled, then click 'Process', the Line Item Status will adjust itself and the PO Status will update as well. This just worked for me in a PO that had all but 1 item recieved but was no longer desired.

    Hi All

    Does anyone know in which version or SP of GP this bug has been fixed please?   The work-a-round by using the Edit PO Status works the best but it is still not great to give users access to that window.

    Ideally I'm wanting to know if it is fixed in GP 2016

    Thank you

    Is there any further updates to this.  i have a client using GP2015 PO Req Workflow and they can not cancel POs.  The delete sales order link  and edit Purchase Order both give an error message saying you can't change it because it came as a PO Req.  How do I cancel a PO that came from a PO Requisition?

    Hi Mahmoud,

    The 'Edit Purchase Order' does not seem to work in my case. The LPO is released already. Any other suggestion(s) ?

    Once you "Release" the Purchase Order, the ability to cancel goes away, even in the edit window. Is there a way around that?

    Just an update regarding the case above.

    For any one who is encountering this issue, you can simply use the Edit Purchase Order window to modify the quantity cancelled instead of running the update statement above, because the update is not complete and requires further enhancements to the total amounts of the PO.

    Hello again Marmeduke,

    The requisition management has been newly built in Dynamics GP 2013 R2, with new workflow engine and complete different design. It is still under testing and several issues arise.

    Throughout our testing scenarios, we have found out and reported few issues. We expect to have them settled in the upcoming version of Dynamics GP, it still needs time to get settled.

    For the mean time, I would kindly ask you to close the case by verifying the answer if it meets your inquiry.

    Your feedback is highly appreciated,

    Hi Mahmoud.  Many thanks for all your input.   What is concerning for me is that I would have expected someone else to have come across this already.   This is quite a big difference from the functionality that exists currently in GP2010.  

    Thanks again
