When you close a goods receipt PO, no adjustment posting is carried out in inventory management. This means that the available inventory, which has been increased by the goods receipt PO, will not be reduced again.

Therefore, if you need to close a goods receipt PO and have the inventory values and quantities updated as well, create a goods return based on the goods receipt PO to be closed.

Note Note

After you have closed a goods receipt PO, you can no longer base other purchasing documents on that goods receipt PO.

End of the note.
