Introduce an enhancement to the Purchase Order (PO) posting process in Business Central that allows invoices and receipts to be entered in any sequence against a purchase order, while ensuring that the creation of vendor ledger entries (Accounts Payable) is deferred until a complete 3-way match is achieved (PO line, receipt, and invoice). AP ledger posting is triggered only when all three elements are present, regardless of whether the receipt or invoice was entered first.
Currently, accounting users must wait until a purchase order is received before entering the invoice, which is inefficient—especially for companies handling a high volume of physical goods POs, such as those in manufacturing and distribution.
This approach aligns with compliance requirements under SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) and GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), all of which emphasize segregation of duties and verification before the financial recognition of AP liabilities.
