Modify Posting Date on Undo Purchase Receipt

I’m trying to find a way to modify the Undo Purchase Receipt function to use today’s date as the posting date. I have tried changing the date through multiple event subscribers on codeunit 22 “Item Jnl.-Post Line” but it always ends up reverting back the original receipt date when the item ledger entry is posted. Where does it keep grabbing the original receipt date from?

We want to do this because we often have to return items multiple weeks after the original receipt date if it takes a long time for QA to finish inspection. We don’t like using the Purchase Return Order because users often post it with the wrong unit cost. Also, this requires us to have to add a new line to the original PO to re-receive the replacement item from the vendor. This makes the PO look like it has duplicate lines on it.

I would believe this date isn’t available to change because it reverses a specific record, the purchase receipt. Unlike when you do a Purchase return, you are creating a new document and “pulling” the information into the new Purchase return. Allowing the posting date to be changed.

Another option is create a new PO and add - 1 or -A after the PO#. (PO20573-1) This way the team can see a link to the original PO. This was what I did when in Purchasing. However, we wanted the Purchase Return order because it allowed our shipping dept. to create the necessary BOL information for returning it.

Hope this helps.
