Are there situations where an external file load should not be used?  I have created/tested one to load a Closed Date on the Purchasing Into tab on a Receipt in our test environment.  It appears to work fine, rather than typing that date in manually, and has the desired effect of clearing the ‘leftover’ quantity received from the RNI report. Is there any reason why we shouldn’t use an external file load for this purpose:

 

Hi @cynthia.wilson,
I just noted few other threads with discussions in this regard; weren’t the following helpful?

Hi Cynthia, you are correct, you can clear left over quantity from RNI by entering the close date to indicate no further invoice will be received in future and this is the correct process. Use external file transfer is fine to make the changes. as I can remember the close date doesn’t have any business logic link to it.

It is safe to do it your way.


Thanks Dedi!
