Closing or Inactivating Old purchase orders
We went live with Oracle Fusion on 10/1/24. Our policy is to close out prior‑year purchase orders that are not related to inventory or grants. However, we’ve had difficulty closing them when there are partial receipts still open. We currently have an SR open with Oracle about this. Has anyone found a way to inactivate these POs so they can’t be used by mistake?

Yamhill County submits a "Final Close" for those. Here are our procedures:
To Close a PO:
- Navigate to Procurement > Purchase Orders
- In the Search dropdown, select Orders and type either the PO Number or Supplier Name of the PO you want to close. Once located:
- Select Actions, and then Close
- Select Finally Close - This is the only action that will release funds.
- Enter a reason and select OK

Our purchasing division is responsible for finally closing their POs every fiscal year if they are in closed status. And will finally close a PO with a balance at the direction of the department to release the funds.
There is also a job that can be run that utilizes the spreadsheet loader where multiple PO lines can be closed at a time. It is a bit cumbersome and time consuming but it can be done this way as well.

Thank you for the responses, do you ever have PO's that have open partial receipts? How do you handle these?
