I am currently building a Generic Inquiry to identify valid Purchase Receipts that require an AP Bill. The logic is that if a receipt has no corresponding AP Bill, it should then check whether there is a related Purchase Return; otherwise, it is considered valid and requires an AP Bill but I seem to be getting a duplicate. Any insight as to how to make it efficient? Sharing my GI. Thank you for your time in looking.

@Crisel  - taking a step back I would suggest looking at POReceipt.UnbilledQty

 

You can add this as a column to PO3020PL (Purchase Receipts) if it doesn’t already exist and then filter receipts for those waiting on AP bills.

 

When a return is entered, you’ll have to reconcile the receipt and the return with AP transactions, so those also show up here until the accounting side has been cleared

 

Not sure if that helps or solves your immediate needs

@kyle90 ‘s advice seems like a good way to acheive what you’re probably after.

 

But with that said, what’s your actual perfect line look like for the above situation? 
What information do you want displayed for it?
Do you just want a tickbox for “Has Reciept”? Do you want the numbers concatenated? Just the most recent one?

I am not yet able to test ​@kyle90 suggestion. However, I was hoping to identify which Purchase Receipts actually require an AP Bill.

From my understanding, if a Purchase Receipt has no associated AP Bill but does have a receipt, then it is considered valid even without a bill.

However, if a Purchase Receipt has neither an AP Bill nor a corresponding receipt, then it should require an AP Bill.

So I was hoping to filter an inquiry that if AP Bill is blank it should have another column like Purchase Return.

Our method is pretty darn simple, but works well. Our accounts payable team review the “unbilled receipts” regularly to try and track down any missing vendor bills and reduce purchasing accrual if that’s your ultimate goal as well

 

Like I said - I would think this is included by default on PO3020PL but if not, simply add a row for the POReceipt.UnbilledQty then add a saved filter for UnbilledQty <> ‘0’ AND status = released

 

You should get a list of all PO Receipts without the attached AP bill. Returns are “billed” when the Debit Adj. is entered and go to zero the same as a normal PO Receipt

Thank you for this. Will try to look into it.
