Distribution list in Purchase Order

[SYEDZHASAN]

How can I apply distribution code to Invoice generated through Purchase Order module? Purchase Order module does not allow you to select distribution code and the invoice generated in AP through PO processing does not allow you to make any changes. This is a common practice to allocate expenses to multiple department therefore I am sure that there must be a way around, please help.

I am using Version 5.3A.

Thanks.

It is already been checked.

I already tried it, it did not work.

Works for me.

What was your procedure, I created a PO (skipped requisition), received it, enter invoice info in PO module and then did daily processing which created a batch in AP. In AP when I try to open the batch, it gives me a message that I can only view and can not change.

I am testing it using trial version of the program, can you verify other setup parametrs which may effect this process.

Thanks for your help.

Is the batch set as "Ready to post"? Unset it.

 

[SYEDZHASAN]

Yes, the batch is set as "Ready to Post", How can I unset it? I tried but was not able to change the status.

 

[Jay Converse]

Double-click the "Yes" in the Ready to Post column. Or click and press the space bar.

It worked, thanks a lot. I was trying to change "Ready to Post" from status column, I did not realize that there is a column for "Ready to Post" and you can change the status by changing this column.

Thanks a lot and Happy new year.
