Job can't be closed because Job Material is linked to an open Purchase Order but is no longer needed

Epicor ERP 10

**What is the best practice regarding a material that has been bought for a job, and is no longer required? **

  • The job has been completed and finished but I can’t close it because Epicor doesn’t let you delete the JobMtl line if it’s linked to a PO, and it doesn’t let you change the PO if it’s linked to a Container, even if it hasn’t been receipted yet.
    The job has been completed and the material is not arriving for another month.
    Should I wait one month to receive the material, and then adjust the job so it issues the material back to inventory, and THEN close the job, or is there a better way to do it?

We usually add another release to the PO line for inventory, and then close the release that was linked to the job.
