Since this was planned PO and user was trying to receive it in inventory without creating the release of this planned PO so while searching from receipt window he was getting " FRM-40212: Invalid value for PO_NUM"

A Planned PO can not be receipted





Solution:-

We did below steps to resolve this issue:-

RCVRCERC Receipts Cannot Be Queried FRM-40212 INVALID PO_NUM (Doc ID 304253.1)

==> PO Users Guide, Purchase Orders, Entering Releases Page 4 – 105:

" Use the Releases window to enter, edit, and approve releases against blanket purchase agreements or planned purchase orders.

1. Navigate to the Releases window by selecting Releases from the menu or selecting the New Release button in the Find Purchase Orders window.
2. Enter the PO number for the release you want to create. The list of values displays all blanket and planned purchase order numbers that have been approved, the document type, status, supplier,
buyer, and effectivity date range (global agreements are not available for releases). "

When you wish to receipt the approved release, you enter the release number in the Receiving Find form.
As per oracle standard business rule, Planned and blanket POs can not be received without making release, We can only receipt standard POs directly in inventory but not planned or blanket.
