Re: Completed POs in History not seen by IFM: WHY?

Peter,

Why do you want to purge a po before it is paid?  You're not done with the
po yet.

In IMHIST you should "see" all inventory transactions that happened to the
PO
items regardless of whether the po is open or closed.

Open PO's and IMHIST are not related.
