Any pointer to look into, when buyers cannot change the payment terms on the POs due to the error u201CExpected/Overall value should be equal or greater than invoiced amountu201D

A thought process to look around, to investage this issue is appreciated.

Rick,

this message may be due to the user trying to change a Purchase order item payment terms when there is already a blocked supplier invoice registered for the item. The vendor invoice payment terms normally override the PO payment terms. Users sometimes think they can speed up payment to a vendor by changing the payment terms on the PO. This can only be done before an invoice is registered and the PO term can be overridden at invoice entry time in any case.

Have a look at the terms on any associated invoice and the vendor record for the Purch org.

You may also want to have a look at your business process for blocked invoice resolution.

If the user wishes to speed up payment of an invoice they need to contact the users who are responsible for the vendor payments. We call them AP staff in our org - stands for Accounts Payable.

Hope this helps

Allen
