Work Order Complete Error When Entering a Purchase Order


Work Order Complete Error When Entering a Purchase Order

Issue/Symptom/Question

We received a vendor invoice after the work order was marked as Complete. We updated the work order status to Work Complete. We are still unable to enter and process a purchase order.

Error: Cost transactions cannot be posted to Cost Type X for Work Order X because Work Order X has a status of Complete.

Resolution/Fix/Answer

The date used on the purchase order approval was the same day as the work order was updated from Complete to Work Complete. Changing the date of the purchase order approval to one or more days after the date used to set the Work Complete status on the Work Order resolved the error.
