Close Purchase Order
When a delivery is made, you might not receive some items that you had ordered. When items are delivered, they are removed from the purchase order. Items that have yet to come in or are not coming in at all remain on the receipt and the purchase order, unless the purchase order is closed. If you receive the purchase order again, you only receive the items that were not previously included, not the entire contents of the order.
When a purchase order is closed, it is permanently closed. Do not close the purchase order if you are receiving a partial order and need to receive the rest of the order at a later date. Oracle MICROS recommends leaving the purchase order open if your site ties each purchase order to the receipt. Missing or partially delivered products appear on a separate receipt or invoice.
