Is there any way to limit receiving POs before a certain date?

I need to limit POs not to received before a certain date which might be different from the month end closure.
Thanks

Where does the date come from? Is it per supplier? Per site/company? You could do it with a BPM/function. Put the date in a UD field and use that in your BPM. If it’s blank use the month end cut off otherwise use your custom date.

It is mostly from the business (different reasons).
So it is only a UD field and BPM to monitor it on transactions, correct?
Thanks

Check earliest apply date?

is it certain POs only? Not as a whole?

If it aligns with earliest apply date I’d use those as it’s built in. But sounds like they may be different dates than a month end earliest apply.

That’s what I couldn’t tell.

No it is for all the POs.
Where can I see the earliest apply date please?

I’d let Chadd address it, cause I haven’t used the functionality in quite some time.

You can read up on it in Kinetic help and test it in your test environment.

There’s a menu item for earliest apply dates. If you don’t use them, you’ll want to do a lot of testing. They impact a lot of different areas of the system. And will prevent related transactions after the date set.

so far, people have been thinking about the technical answer to your question, but I think that maybe your question doesnt tell the whole story (see XY Problem)…

So… i will ask a question back. What is the business challenge you are trying to solve by limiting PO Receipt dates? WHY do you want to do this?

so the request from the finance team is to limit the backdated POs before a certain time where some jobs could still get complete and closed before that time line.
