New Features

AP Credit - Reinstate PO Commitment

AP Credit to invoiced POs can now be configured to reinstate the commitment.

A. When a PO is AP invoiced, the commitment of the PO is reduced by the amount of the AP invoice.

B. Now credits can reinstate commitment by enabling the control parameter ‘Reinstate PO Commitments From AP Credits’ to ‘Yes’. It is ‘No’ by default, which is the current behaviour.

C. Having enabled PO reinstatement, a ‘PO Line’ column is displayed on AP Credits. This allows for the selection of the PO line associated with the credit ‘Apply to Invoice’. The line coding will default from the selected line.

D. On Save a new 'Incomplete' line is inserted into the PO to reinstate the commitment.

E. Should the PO have been ‘Completed’, the reinstatement will also ‘Uncomplete’ the PO.
