Purchase Receipt Not Linked to PO – How to Fix After Submission?

I did received goods from Purchase Receipt and used it in manufacturing

I noticed that the Purchase Receipt was not linked to the Purchase Order

How can documents be linked together after submitted? Is there a manual reference update, a reconciliation tool, or a database fix?

HI @magedbjn

Since the goods have been received and consumed, but the PO is still “Open” (showing items as pending), you should manually close the PO:

  1. Go to the Purchase Order.
  2. Click “Close” at the top right.
  • This will mark the PO as completed.
  • It will not affect stock or valuation—it’s just for status cleanup.

As Purchase Receipt already brought stock in, and it’s been consumed. Linking retroactively isn’t possible once consumed, so closing the PO avoids confusion.
