If we have a PO Line for 50 and we recieve 48 what is the best way of closing the PO Line. Can you reduce the quantity on order or is it through the back order route. We use BaaN V.
Thanks

When you maintain receipt you can maintein 48 units and 0 units for a back order. Baan won't generate a back order and will close the order.

Note: I use BaaN IV

:rolleyes: Indeed you can handle it during the receiving, but sometimes, due to organizational rules (e.g. based on SOX-req's) employees at Incoming goods are not allowed to change PO's (in fact what you do: changing qty's)
Therefore sometimes the backorder-field is blocked and only Buyers are allowed to set backorders to zero using the Maintain Backorder session (not sure how it works in B5, but I think it's about the same as in 4) :p

We make it a final receipt and then cancel the backorder through the PO lines session(detail record).

Hi,

We have developed a customised update program wherein it helps us to close all the oredrs in which at line level partial receipt against the ordered qty is done.

Also we have doen the update program for individual purchase order in the same way.
