Question

How to close POLines (Purchase Order Lines) from a previous Fiscal Period?

Answer

POLines from a past Fiscal Year sometimes are still open without apparent reason (the item is already in place, the portfolio is already active, and the POL might be fully inviced).

Please open a support case - we will help analyze the situation and the cause.  Sometimes, and especially for bulk numbers of POLines, it is as easy to share a list with support who will close the POLines using a data correction tool.

Please see the following articles, with suggestions regarding analysis and solutions for causes of such situations:
