PURCHASE ORDERS

[MAPCO]

I have a number of purchase orders that show as Backorders.
They are not really back orders. They have been received complete and invoiced.

How can I remove them from back order status and show them as complete.

Thank you.

Go into Purchase Order - Setup Menu - Select the 'Purchase Order Options' once the Purchase Order options screen comes up uncheck the box that says 'Post Accounts Payable Invoices'. After the box is unchecked accept the changes and now you can delete those Purchase Orders.

NOTE:BE SURE TO CHECK THE BOX AFTER DELETING THE PURCHASE ORDERS. OTHERWISE THE PO RECEIPT OF INVOICE WILL NOT CREATE AN ACCOUNTS PAYABLE INVOICE.

Why this happens: Even though you have received the goods you have not completed the receipt of invoice and so it is still considered a back order.

I hope this helps
