It is such a pain entering PO invoices when you do not know the date the goods were received.  
You do all the data entry only to find that date is wrong.  
No indication of what the right date might be.
Why not list all open recipts as soon as po or vendor is known.
 
(Also the PO lookup does not bring the identified po into the data entry screen)
 
All PO/N issues

Just a thought, but our stockroom forwards all packing slip receipts to accounting to be matched to PO invoices before any invoices are entered into AP-C.  The packing slips are date stamped with the date of the actual receipt into DBA/EVO.
 
This alerts accounting to price and quantity discrepanices that may arise before the invoices are entered into DBA/EVO.

Oh, for goodness sake...the whole idea of a system like DBA is to stop passing around little bits of paper and stapling them together.  Once the packing slip data is entered into DBA as a receiver, that's the proof of receipt.  The initial idea was a good one:  display the receiver on screen when you're entering the invoice.

I agree, AP-C could use improvement in that regard.  I would like to be able to query lines on a Receiver from AP-C that SHOULD be coming up but aren't to find out why - that would indicate whether it is a date issue or maybe another invoice was already applied to the receipt.  
 
Let me see what we can do.  I wholeheartedly agree with Mike - the point is to (as much as possible) rely on the system and quit passing the bits of paper around.  But old habits die hard!

OK, how does this sound?  In AP-C, after entering the information and getting the list of receipts (or perhaps the message that there are no receipts) have a button available "Show All Receipts".  Click the button and you would see all receipts for the vendor within the range of POs specified regardless of status - closed PO's, all dates, already invoiced, whatever.  The list would include the fields such as Invoice Number and Receipt date so you could find the one you expected to be able to invoice and determine why it isn't coming up.

I like Lynn's proposal.  What time period will "SHOW ALL RECEIPTS" use?  Since the last record purge or an adhoc time parameter, i.e. user entered time parameter?

Sounds like a great idea to me
