RUN_RECV_CLOSE_BO

Submit the Close Short process for a specified business unit.

Use the Close Short page (RUN_RECV_CLOSE_BO) to submit the Close Short process for a specified business unit.

The Close Short process (PO_CLSSHORT) creates the batch purchase order change requests, but does not update the purchase order. The Process Change Orders batch program must be run subsequently to update the purchase orders. The Close Short process creates the change order transactions for the purchase orders.

You define close short settings for receipt lines using the Receiving page. Use the Receiving tab on the Purchase Order page or the Close Short Workbench to define close short settings for purchase orders. You can run the Close Short process from this page, from the Purchase Order page, or using the Close Short Workbench job.
