We recently started using No Part Purchase Orders in Apps 10 - Our accounts team decided in their infinite wisdom to manually add the Posting Proposal, as the PO had not been receipted and closed by the business.

They added the PO Nr in the Manual Supplier Invoice screen, creating the linked invoice.

Finance manually added the Posting Proposal on the Invoice - so it matched and paid the manual supplier invoice. 

The PO was not receipted and closed before the invoice was paidposted, and this has now created a PO liability.

How do we get rid of this PO liability -  we are unable to reverse Voucher Type O?  

You cannot match the PO to the Invoice now if is fully paid.

Any help would be gratefully received.

If the  Purchase Order has now been receipted but the Receipt has not been matched to the Supplier Invoice  you could try:

RMB Cancel the Purchase Order Receipt

Enter a new “dummy” Supplier Invoice and match to the PO Receipt then enter a dummy Supplier Credit Note and manually post this. Then offset teh “dummy” Supplier Invoice and Credit Note

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Graham

Thank you, Graham.  That resolution sounds simple and I would never have thought of that.

 

We also now think we can cancel the PO and it removes the liability - I was not sure this would work.

 

We are newbies at POs and learning slowly through our mistakes :)  probably not ideal!

 

Thanks again for helping

A pleasure. We were all newbies once and still are for some things :-)
