Finalize purchase order items
Use the Finalize Selected Items and Finalize Displayed Items commands to finalize purchase order items, so that no further can changes can be made to the items. The Finalize Selected Items command finalizes the material items that are currently selected in the PO # dialog box. The Finalize Displayed Items finalizes the material items that are currently filtered to be shown in the PO # dialog box.
If material items are received but not finalized, the item quantity changes to zero to update the inventory records. When the purchase order items are finalized, the link between the purchase order and the inventory is irreversibly broken. Even if the items are later unfinalized, they are no longer linked to the inventory.
