Purchase order status should not change

austin

Hi,

I created a Purchase order .
I entered the Qty = 50 in purchase order line.
I received at first - 30 , secondly - 20 , third time - 5 .
Third time I place a check mark in the close field of packing slip update.
Then automatically the status changes to RECEIVED.
For testing purpose again I change qty in purchase order line from 50 to 75.
Then automatically the order status changes to Open order.
I think it is wrong .
How to control that one .
That means after I close the order ( that means only receipts) , then nobody should not change the qty.
Is it possible ?
If yes what is the path.

No that is not possible.

You can alter the quantity up until the point of invoice, and after invoicing if you have the parameter set to allow it, but it is only invoicing where it is locked.

It is not a process I would advise, but you can see from the inquiries the last printed amount, you could set alerts up for the change, but there are many reasons why you would want to allow this, so it is allowed. If you want to prevent this from receipt point how do you do this? Purely on the status received, because as you have found you can order 70 and receive 30 but the status of the line is not received, it is open, but where is your control? If you want to do this you would need to modify the system - or create a workflow if this is 2009.
