Purchase order to invoice
Just noticed one strange behaviour in purchase order. When you quick receive a purchase order a shipment is created and when you receive the shipment an invoice is created.
But when you receive a purchase order from facility the shipment is not created and in turn invoice is not created.
So in general to have an invoice is it necessary to issue a shipment and then receive it?
Also if I have 400 pieces and I receive 300 and reject 100 the purchase order is closed and cannot receive anymore items. In general the supplier may send the same items back with a new shipment against the same purchase order.

Thanks Jacopo,
Yes this sounds like a simple and good solution if there are no drawbacks. I can't see any but I did not look at the related code...

Vikrant,
I think you are right: maybe the best option we have to solve this issue
is to automatically create a shipment when the items are received and
mark it as received; this will trigger the invoice creation.

Hi Jacques,
Thanks for the feedback the problem is when you receive a purchase order a proforma invoice is created automatically by the system based on the amount received.
Currently the invoice is linked to shipment and not the PO itself so in order to have a proforma invoice created the system needs to create a shipment. In quick receive a shipment is created automatically but when you receive without creating a shipment directly from PO the invoice will not be created.
May be it’s a default behaviour.
Regards,
Vikrant

Vikrant,
Just a bet : maybe it's because a move (transfert?) between 2 facilities is not considered as a real purchase because it does not
come from the outside of the company ?
Is it really a problem to create a new purchase order ?
