This vendor has been assigned to a purchase order or an unposted receipt.

Got a case where my client hit the following error when they are trying to change the status of the vendor from "Active" to "Inactive". 

 "This vendor has been assigned to a purchase order or an unposted receipt. The status can't be changed to Inactive".


Checking to the Purchase Order which raised under this vendor, noticed the status still shows "Open PO" even though payment has been made and the status in the PO is already closed.


GP will not move the completed PO to historical table until "Remove Completed Purchase Order" is performed. This step is require if Maintain Purchase Order History option is enabled in Purchase Order Processing Setup.

Path: MSDGP > Tools > Routines > Purchasing > Remove Completed Purchase Order


  i.     User may select range by "PO Number", "Vendor ID" or even "Document Date" from document range.
   ii.     Select [Insert] to enter the range that selected.
   iii.     Select [Restriction], user can perform another layer of filtering on which PO to exclude.

 iv.     Once the PO to process is confirmed, select [Process} to start the removal. A list of complete PO will be printed in a report.

  v.     The status of the PO will now classified as "Historical".

GP How to Reconcile Payable/ Receivable Ledger to General Ledger Control Account using "Reconcile to GL"

The “Reconcile to GL” tool helps you find differences between Payables Management (and GL) and Receivables Management (and GL) automatically by coming out a report. The Rule of Thumb, GL balance for the AP Control Account should match up with the total on the Payable Ledger report and the GL balance for the AR Control Account should match the total on the Receivables Ledger report.  "Reconcile to GL" will match each transaction between GL and Sub-ledger based on the setup account and posting date.  Any transactions that don’t match and users have to start digging through detailed transactions to see what went wrong, “Reconcile to GL” can be helpful in this scenario. To perform Payable/Receivable Reconciliation Path: Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Routines > Financial > Reconcile to GL     1.       Type in your date range.     2.       Select “Module”, either Payable Management or Receivable Management.     3.       Put in all your A/P or A/R account number.

Step 1 - Setup Recurring Batch Path: Transaction > Financial > Batches  i.    After entering the " Batch ID " and " Comment ", setting up the " Frequency " is the most important part for recurring transaction. " Single Use " is the one we use all the time for single posting, once posted, the batch will remove from Batch ID. But if you set the Frequency to " Monthly ", which means the batch automatically becomes a recurring batch, the batch will be there forever for multiple posting. ii.    There is another useful option here, " Clear Recurring Amounts ", which will clear the amounts in journal entries after the posting. You can then later enter the amount in the j
