Open – on order

A Purchase Order that is open and has been ordered.

 

Note that the Purchase Order no longer displays the Save and Delete toolbar buttons as the PO is no longer editable once it has been ordered other than manually setting the status to Closed.

 

If you place a checkmark in Change Closed Status, this will set the PO to a Closed status; removing it from the list of selectable PO’s to receive against via a Purchase Order Receipt

 

Closed – none received

This status will show if the Purchase Order has been manually closed with no items received into stock. This may occur in such a situation as a Purchase Order was placed; than it was determined you no longer wanted the items and canceled the Purchase Order.

 

 

Open – partially received

A Purchase Order that is open and partially received via PO Receipt

 

Partially received is when not all parts and quantity ordered via a PO have been received.

 

Such a PO will still be selectable to receive against as not all ordered items have been received.

 

If place a checkmark in Change Closed Status, you will instigate manual closing of this PO.

 

 

Closed – partially received

Possible reason is only part of PO items have arrived. Vendor has stated do not have items in stock. Therefore you have manually closed the PO because you will no longer be receiving against it.

 

This is a manual setting.

 

 

Closed – fully received

All items have been received via Purchase Order Receipts.

 

Note once fully received no additional editing at all, including re-opening. And the Change Closed Status menu option is no longer available.
