Status indicates the processing status of the purchase order.  There are three possible values for Status:

 

"Open" indicates that the purchase order has been sent to the vendor, the quantity on purchase order has been updated in inventory and all items ordered have not been received.

 

"Closed" indicates that all items on the purchase order have been received or you have decided to cancel the items not yet received.  You cannot receive items in Bill for a purchase order with a Closed status.

 

"Hold" indicates that you would like to enter additional information for the purchase order at a later time and do not want to the document to have an effect on item quantity on purchase order.  You may also establish a company procedure of placing purchase orders on hold for review and approval.  Once a purchase order has been approved, the Status fields should be changed to Open.

 

You must manually change the Status from Open to Closed.  You may not change the status of closed purchase order line items, but you may add additional line items to a purchase order with a Status of Open.
