Subcontract PO Invoicing stopped by Finished Prod

When posting a purchase invoice for a subcontracted operation linked to a production order, the posting is getting stopped if the production order’s status has been changed to Finished. Anyone have a workaround?

We had the same problem. Our NSC had to solve this with customization. I think on the process of Finishing the PO, the reference to the Purchase orders is checked, and a message is generated, saying that first open Purchase order(s) have to be booked before you can finish the PO. If you wouldlike to have details on the solution, just give me a reply.

Michiel, Thanks for the reply. I’ve implemented the same solution to prevent new occurances, however there are existing PO’s that are not able to be invoiced. I contacted MS Support and they acknowledge the problem and have forwarded it to Denmark for resolution. Regards, Bob
