Is there a way to enter a PO with Negative Amount? This is for the Construction edition. Client’s current system has number of POs with -ve amount and I was looking for the best way to handle them? Has anyone come across this scenario?
Question
PO with Negative Amount
+13Hi
Negative Purchase Orders are not supported in Acumatica, including the Construction Edition. Purchase Orders represent positive purchase commitments. Scenarios that used negative POs in legacy systems should be handled using Purchase Receipts (with Type = Return) or AP Debit Adjustment (Bill with Type = Debit Adj)
Please refer to the post below that is similar to your question.

I agree with
In Construction environments, I’ve seen negative POs used in legacy systems mainly to reverse commitments or offset subcontract amounts. In Acumatica, that’s usually better handled through a change order to reduce the commitment, or through an AP debit adjustment if it’s more of a vendor-side correction.
It might help to clarify what those negative POs were being used for in the client’s current system (credits, reversals, budget adjustments, etc.). There’s usually a cleaner way to model that in Acumatica without needing a negative PO.
