The document discusses the procedure for closing a purchase order where some goods have been received and invoiced but further delivery is not expected. It involves changing the PO quantity and delivery date.

Reducing the PO quantity to match partial goods receipts changes the actual value of the purchase order, so it will accurately report in contracts and reports.

You can view the creation date of the underlying requisition by double-clicking on the requisition number in the PO line and checking the Request date on the Quantities/Dates tab.

Closing a Purchase Order That Has Been Partially Received Or Partially


Invoiced
Overview:
This document discusses the procedure for closing a purchase order where some goods
receiving and some invoicing has taken place, and you dont anticipate any further delivery of
goods and services. Closing a purchase order by this procedure returns unreceived value to the
contract (if any) and relieves the remaining budget encumbrance.

ME22N Change Purchase Order

Hints / Tips:
This closure process applies to the purchase order line. This means that if you want to close all
lines of a multi-line purchase order, you must do the steps for each line separately. It also allows
you to close a single line of the purchase order and leave other lines open.
NOTE: If you want to close a purchase order where no goods receiving and no invoicing have
ever taken place, dont use this method. Instead, please use the instructions under ME22N
Cancel Purchase Order..

Procedure:
Step 1: Open transaction ME22N. If the transaction doesnt default to the purchase order you
want to close, select Other Document to navigate to the right purchase order.

The purchase order comes up in change mode (the line-item area is editable).
Step 2 (Optional): Select the Purchase Order History tab to review goods receiving and
invoicing to date.
Here we see that 1000 of the quantity 2000 ordered has been received (GR) and $1000 has
been invoiced (LIVwhich stands for Logistics Invoice Verification and refers to a MIRO
invoices).

Step 3: Take this step only if. the underlying requisition was created in the current fiscal year.
Otherwise go on to Step 4:
Change the PO Quantity in the line area to match the quantity received. In our sample case, the
purchase order line is for quantity 2000. Quantity 1000 has been received, so we change the
PO Quantity to 1000.

What is the purpose of this step?


Without this step, the total value of our sample purchase order will still be $2000. It will appear
on the contract and in various reports as having a value of $2000. Reducing the quantity to
match partial goods receipts changes the actual value of the purchase order to $1000, so it will
report accurately.
Unfortunately, if your underlying requisition was created prior to July 1 of the current fiscal year,
this step is no longer possible.
Heres how to see the create date of the underlying requisition:

case, we cant do Step 3:

Step 4: This is the step that actually returns value to the contract (if any) and relieves the
budgetary encumbrance.
a. Select the Delivery tab.
b. Check the Deliv. Compl. Box.
c. Change the Latest GR Date to a date in the past:

NOTE: Changing the Latest GR Date prevents any further goods receiving.
Step 5: Save the purchase order.
