Information Systems:Zero-receiving POs

Try to receive through Work With Purchase Orders.

- Option 6, work with lines.

- Option 14, receive lines.

- Change quantity to zero (actually key in zero – don’t just blank out field).

- To cancel the line (as opposed to changing the status), change the backlog flag to ‘N’.

This will only work if no other receiving has been started on this line; ie it is on neither a reception note nor an inbound shipment. If this line is on a closed inbound shipment, the ‘shipment ID’ field will be filled in, and you will get a message saying the line is at an incorrect status. Change the shipment ID; ie add XX to the end, and press enter. Continue with zero receipt. Be aware that this will create and close a new inbound shipment.
