Use the following procedure to change a PO's status from R (receiving in progress) to F (not yet received). This function is particularly important because only status "F" POs can be transmitted. If a status "R" PO needs to be transmitted, simply use this procedure to change its status back to F, and then transmit it.
This procedure is performed in Network Access. You must have security bit 137.
The status of a PO can only be changed from R to F if no items were added during receiving, and the Total Quantity Received and Total Quantity Rejected fields are blank on the Receiving screen. To check these fields, click Receive, then click "Go to receipt posting." You may also have to click Flip (on the toolbar) once or twice. These two fields are only updated on POs whose Backorder field is Y, and only if the Receiving Report (RRP) has already been run at least once.
From Network Access at the FUNCTION prompt, type RPOS and press <Enter>. The Reset Purchase Order Status screen displays.
In the PO Number field, type the PO number you want to change, and press <Enter>.
Note: If the PO cannot be reset to status F, an error message displays to explain the reason. Otherwise, no message displays, and you can continue with the next step.
Press <Run>. In a moment, the message "Status Reset Complete" displays.
