IN Reference Not Generated When Correcting Purchase Receipt

When I attempt to correct a previously created Purchase Receipt, the system does not generate an IN Reference. As a result, the Batch Number is also not created.

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any insights into possible causes (configuration, posting status, or known limitations) would be greatly appreciated.

When you correct a Purchase Receipt, the system does not create a new IN document. The correction only reverses or adjusts the AP and PO impact, but inventory is not re-posted through Inventory (IN) again.
Because no new IN transaction is generated, no IN Reference and no Batch Number are created.

Hi ​@mfonseka55 

The possible scenarios you may encounter are as follows:
1. The Inventory Receipt is created but not released
When you edit a Purchase Receipt and release it, Acumatica creates a corresponding Inventory Receipt.
However, in some cases, the Inventory Receipt is created but not released, so the system does not generate or display an IN Reference on the Purchase Receipt screen.

Please verify the related Inventory Receipt and release it if it is still on Hold or Balanced status.

2. The Purchase Receipt contains Non-Stock Items
If the items on the Purchase Receipt are Non-Stock Items, then upon releasing the Purchase Receipt:
+ No inventory transaction is created
+ Therefore, no IN Reference will be generated
This is standard Acumatica behavior, not a system error.
