Hello experts, Issue: PO has expense line only and PO requires Receipt process for expense line. Goal: Skip/Disable Item receipt for PO expense lines. Is there a setting that I am missing/overlooking ?

question is do you only have PO expense lines in your PO or do you also have a different process for receiving inventory from the PO?
Reason why I asked is if you only need to Bill or invoice the PO, the feature that separates the Billing from Receiving is the Advanced Receiving feature = Setup > Company > Transactions >*Shipping & Receiving > Advanced Receiving = If this is turned off, receiving is no longer needed but I am not sure if you can disable it in your account*

@Jacob Some PO have mixed inventory and expense lines which is okay. However if PO is only with expense lines, reception doesnt make sense because Item receipt creation is for Supply/warehouse team.

@Damree Ilyaad It seems that the ability to remove the Receiving function of a Purchase Order with Expense lines only is currently a system limitation. Also, an Enhancement request for the functionality was logged under Enhancement 274146 Purchase orders with only Expense accounts > Option to not receive the order.

@Damree Ilyaad unfortunately it is a limitation if you have both. You cannot turn off that feature. However, try this workaround. Enable the Accounting Preference, Bill in Advance of Receipt. You can then bill without receiving then simply close the PO after billing it. Or if you want to stream line the process, you can create a workflow so once fully billed, PO is closed. Downside though is that the PO status will not show fully billed it is closed. another option is autocreate the item receipt, anyways it is non-inventory so it non posting

@Jacob | @Vaibhav Patil I did a script to automate reception of expense lines and solution works like a charm.
