Researching a P.O. to process a receipt in Peoplesoft

Question: I need to process a receipt but the P.O. is not available to receive in Peoplesoft? What are my options to research and resolve this?

Answer:

1. On the “Select Purchase Order” page in the right column of options, the default value is 30 for “Days +/- Today.” If the number 30 is deleted and the calendar dates below in the ‘Start date” and “End date” are also deleted, the P.O. in question may be available for receipt when you search again if the order was issued more than 30 days before the current date.

2. The P.O. can also be checked to view previous receipts. From the “Add/Update receipts” option, choose the “Find an Existing Value” tab on the Purchasing page. Choose the P.O. number box option and type in the P.O. number. Choose the search button to see any receipts. A list of any receipts for the order will appear at the bottom of the search page if any have been processed for the order.
