Closing Purchase Orders

We have a requirement to close purchase orders short - after some quantitiy or amout has been received and/or paid.
We're planning to use the Voucher Match applications, P0411 and P4314, using the "Cancel" line option.
We're looking for any gotchas - we don't want any GL activity at all, we just want to zero out the open quantities and amounts.
Thanks

Hi 'bblat'

Why can't you just go into the Purchase order and cancel the line?

Cancelling the Purchase order in P4312 (PO Receipts) using option 9 (cancel line) does also what you need (Clears out the open qty/amount in F4311 and F43121). (F43121 does not get updated if you cancel the line from PO entry P4310)

Maybe a clarification is in place.

Your first option would be to receive the PO with option 7 (receive the line and close any remainder).
In case you need to leave the remainder open and close it later, when it is clear that nothing more will be received against the PO line, you can then use option 9 (close the line cancelling any remainder)

In earlier releases (B732.1) i seem to remember there was a difference in the result on F43121 if the remainder on the PO line was cancelled from PO entry (P4310) compared to doing it in PO Receipts (P4312) but i can't seem to duplicate this.
