How to Un-Receive a Purchase Order

Problem

You need to make changes to a bill but are unsure how to un-receive a PO.

Solution

You cannot un-receive a PO if it has already been exported. If a PO has already been exported, you will need to create an inventory adjustment to make edits.

If the PO has not yet been exported, do the following to un-receive a PO:

1. Search for and go to the PO.

2. Make sure the PO is unposted.

3. Click Documents and select the receipt from the dropdown.        

   Note: The receipt will have a -R1 at the end.

4. On the receipt screen, click Actions > Cancel.

5. On the Cancel Receipt popup, select a cancel reason and click Cancel Receipt.

This puts the PO back to Sent status so you can make changes to receipt and partially receive the PO.
