Adding and removing an item on a partially received Purchase Order

NOTE: I know how to change a purchase order. That's not my question.

 

I have an open purchase order that has already received items against it, but not fully. We will still be receiving items against the purchase order.

 

I want to remove one item on the purchase order and replace it with another because what we will get going forward has changed. I must keep using this current purchase order.

 

What will this affect? I will get the warning that the PO is linked to other transactions, which would be the bills already created and paid against the previous item receipts. What will that do if I change it?

POs are non posting.  Only the bill you create will count, go ahead and change it, as long as you do not change the partial receipt already recorded

@Rustler thanks a ton for your response.

 

All the receipts to date have a bill created from them with the old item and there's no outstanding item receipts that haven't been converted to a bill.

 

Just so I'm clear, this means if I delete the old item on the PO, replace it with a new item, that it won't affect any bills in the past. Going forward the new item will show up along with the items that were kept.

If the item is on a bill, then you will get a warning about transactions being attached, but changing the PO should not affect it.
