Close a purchase order

Other than Receipt Entry and receiving final quantities, or from Actions menu (close / reopen) what other way is there to Close a PO?
This is a PO with a pair of inventory lines, no inspection involved.

I ask because user is in the Change Log as OpenOrder True -> False and they swear they didn’t close it… Just checking.

Is the person a Buyer? Was there a PO Suggestion to cancel and they accepted?

There is also a setting in the Company Configuration (Modules->Materials->Purchase) that controls when a PO gets closed:

She is a buyer, yes. Not sure if there were any suggestions, as this PO is old.

Is just the PO (header) open? or any of the lines/releases too?

You could make a BAQ of PartTran for transactions on the date and time stated on the ChangeLog. That would show if a receipt was “undone” (like when someone originally used Mass Receipt, and then later changed the Rcv’d qty on the line).

One more thing, from the DataDict

POHeader.OpenOrder
Indicates if the order is open or closed. This is set automatically when all the PODetail records have been closed or can be set if the user Voids the Order. This field is not directly maintainable.

(emphasis mine)

Doug -
This company has it set at Arrival. I can see receipts, first through inspection (Pur-Ins, and Ins-Stk) on 7/24, then a couple Stk-Stk on 7/27, with a issue to work order (Stk-Mtl) on 7/28.
I cannot see anything that indicates the purchase order closed itself, other than user did it via actions menu :slight_smile:

If it was partially done, then I don’t think there is any sign in the database that will show that somebody manually closed it (other than it is closed :slight_smile:)

I think if no actions had been done, closing it would make it show as “Void”.

Hi Calvin - looking at Part Tran was my first stop, I didn’t see anything fishy, just pur-ins, ins-stk.

No releases appear to have been closed at same time as her closing the PO. Those POREL values are tracked in change log (the Open and Void fields)

So Change log shows POHeader.OrderOpen changed from TRUE -> FALSE. With no other change log entries occurring at the same time?

Are the Lines and the Releases closed? (they should be as closing the Order would close any open lines/releases). If they (lines / releases) were closed at a prior date/time, then the question would be why would the OrderOpen field have been TRUE?
