Our finance department is in a bit of a jam. A PO was accidentally created as well as an Item Fulfillment. The original SO was invoiced, so they want to keep everything but the PO, but the IF is preventing them from deleting/voiding it. Any ideas?
c
close the PO...line by line if you have to
a
@J-Mack is it in a prior period?
the fulfillment?
that's the only financial transaction. But, you have to delete that before you close or delete the SO or PO
if the PO was created because of a drop ship scenario, you just have to disassociate the SO from the PO and close the PO. If the invoice/fulfillment are in current period, you can just delete them

Your auditors would probably appreciate you simply closing the PO with a note on the record as to why...closing the document keeps it from being billed and creating a GL impact that posts.
a
agreed, but she can't close it if it's tied to a drop ship SO....i believe

I will take these suggestions and let you know what happens! Thank you! 🙂

you can zero out the transaction lines wth user note to support reasoning as @C_Billings mentioned. PO do not have any GL impact.

They were able to close the PO. Thanks everyone!
