PO with zero amount

[sgeeta]

Hi
We have a laundry service brings washed shirts and pants every day.
If we have a new employee we use the same vendor to order new shirts and pants.
At this time we need to create a PO for the new clothes. We want to track the promise date and receive date for supplier performance.
Can we make a PO with zero amount and quantity like 5 shirts and 5 pants and later on receive it. And them match that PO in AP for zero amounts.
Any idea how to do this

Thanks

Thanks, I tested we can create zero amount and receive items & invoice also. Will this create problems in PO-AP or GL. Will this reflect in any reports any advice

Hi San,
Up to my knowledge it will not show in any report, u can check with the unpaid invoices report..........Even if so it is going to be zero amount and not going to affect the Financials
