Alittle background:
At our company the receiver in the warehouse receives the material
and creates the receipt. The receipts are then sent to the AP office
where the AP clerk matches the invoice to the receipt and enters it into AP
directly. We've been doing this for about 3 years now.
I asked the controller why they do it this way. He thought
that if you invoice it though PO you have to do it at the time of receipt
and didn’t want the receiver creating invoices (I told him that is not the case
you can invoice at anytime). He also thought there is no way to edit the
invoice to add shipping and miscellaneous charges (I told him that is not the
case). I think this process was a carry
over from their Plus days.
With that being said now I have 3 years of uncompleted receipts that
cause over 50000 data integrity errors because a lot of them are in locked
periods. I know I can just ignore these
errors but I was just wondering if there is a simple way to get rid of them. Can I just change the status in
database? I should have included some of
this information in my original post.
Better late then never I guess.
