Stop receiving against a Purchase Order Line

You have the option to prevent inventory from being received into a warehouse. You can prevent receiving by stopping receiving inventory against a given Purchase Order detail line. For example, a PO may have an item that has been recalled by the manufacturer. Rather than expending labor to receive and process the PO, you may prefer to not receive this item at all. The stop_recv_flg (in purchase order detail) allows you to prevent receiving inventory if the flag is set to yes. You can change this value on the purchase order detail using the Entity Update API. For more details about this API please refer to the Integration API documentation. Once you update this field using the API, you will be able to see that this field is set to yes on the Purchase Order Detail UI.

Stop Receiving Flag

  • The Purchase Order UI screen now shows the new field. You can search for it, but you cannot edit this field.
  • You will not be able to create a shipment from the Purchase Order UI Screen if the shipment is linked to a Purchase Order detail with stop_recv_flg = Y.

In the Inbound Shipment UI, you will be able to see if there is a detail that is linked to a PO detail that has the PO Stop Receiving Flag set to Yes.

Inbound Shipment Detail

If you try to receive inventory that is linked to a Purchase Order detail that has the Stop Receiving Flag set to Yes, you will get the following error:
