We run into issues where we have a purchase direct job material that we need to purchase a second time.
We place the first PO and receive it, in full, the first time without issue.
If we need to place a second PO for the same job material, get an error when referencing the job material on the PO line of: Material/Operation is not on file or it has not pending purchase requirement
I guess I understand because we already purchased in full the first time but how to I move pass this?
In the past, I’ve adjusted the quantity per for the job material just to get by it but I’d prefer not to have to do that.
Any ideas?

i was always under the impression you could only have one PO link per job material. Have you considered adding a second material link to that operation and tying the additional PO to that?
Is the material scrap? We use nonconformance to remove the material from the job an open the requirement. We don’t do purchase direct so I don’t know if that will re-open the po.
As long as you have not received the full amount, you can have more than one PO.
For example, if the required quantity is 10, you can have two POs for 5 each.
I had considered adding another job materials for the same part number but I was looking for an “easier” way.

No, it’s scrap.
It’s not a normal situation that you might find on a job.
We are using the job to capture project costs (process to change in near future) and we don’t know how much of a particular part we will need so we may have to place more than one PO against a job material.

I could but this would be a task that I would have my end user perform.
It would be a new process and, while not complicated, I was trying to avoiding “giving them more to do”.

You may be able to use the “Issued Complete” checkbox. If you uncheck that it might let you do what you want to do. i’m not sure that it will re-check it though once the new PO/PS is received in full.
