What to do if you accidently Finalized a PO without scanning

This article is for anyone who accidentally finalizes a PO without scanning.

We frequently get calls where a PO was finalized without scanning all of the items into inventory. We cannot reopen the closed PO but we can recreate it for scanning.

Open

What to do

What we will need to do is duplicate the PO and send it to receiving without sending it to the supplier.

To do this we will start by duplicating the PO.

Select the PO and either double clikc it or select it and click details.

Open

Click Duplicate and then click OK for when it tells you the PO was duplicated. Then close the PO.

Next go to Suppliers and search for the supplier that the PO is meant for. One found either double click the supplier or select them and click Manage.

Check to make sure the locations say Print. If they don’t then when we process the duplicate PO it will send it via email to the supplier and it will send you the same order again. If they say print you can hit save and proceed to process the PO again. To change Email to Print select the location and click manage or double-click the location.

Once in the Manage Supplier window go to Send Via and change it to print. After you have finished processing the duplicate PO you will need to change this back to Email so future POs will be emailed normally.

Now we go to the Purchasing tab and find the Duplicate PO. Double click it or select and Manage it.

Once in the Manage PO window Click Send to Supplier. Confirm by clicking Yes.

Because we selected Send Via Print it will generate a pdf file. You can close the PDF and then go to the Receiving tab. Find the PO then select it and click Recieve. A window will popup and you will need to click Start Receiving.

The PO will open and you can now click Verify Now to start scanning the PO as normal.

Please be very careful of hitting the Finalize button again or you will need to go through this again.
