Purchase Order status

vulam

Hi,

Can some one please tell me how to mark the item that it has been received for a particular purchase order.

Thanks in advance.

Ps: I i can see the option Receiptlist when clicked on the Post button. i did try it but the status still remain as open Order.

Hi,

Can you tell me why you require this particular marking ?

What I mean is that since the item is received for a particular Purchase Order, why would you mark the same. The system creates a lot id for each transaction and if you see the transaction you will be able to find out that the Lot ID links up the material and PO number.

An understanding of the specific requirement will be of great help.

Hi kanchan.chatterjee

My apology for not being clear enough. Basically, what i want to do is automate the packing slip update process for PO. I'm not familiar with the inventory moments process and warehousing at this state hence more hair has falling from my head the last few hours. I think i have an idea but don't hesistate to give more advises buddy.

Thanks for your quick response any way.

cheers.

Hello,

The PO Process will be done in three steps:

1. Creation of the PO
2. Receiving the Material
3. Invoicing the PO

So far a I have understood the requirement, you want the Packing Slip to be updated automatically. But the question is when do you want to do that??

There are two scenarios I can think of:

a.) Updating the Packing Slip when u receive the material
b.) Updating the Packing Slip when u Process the Purchase Invoice.

In scenario (a), the Packing Slip has to be posted by the user when he receives the material. This is the way people do it all over.

In scenario (b), you can set the Purchase Paramter - Post Packing SLip in Ledger to FALSE . This means that the system will not post any entries to the ledger at the time of Packing Slip update and will do so only at the time of Invoice. But in either case Packing Slip process is a must.

If you are looking for an automatic posting of the Packing Slip at the time of processing the Invoice, I think you have to write code to get that done.

I do not think I was of much help in this case. But nevertheless do not hesitate to ask.
