Hi,

We have started to use the purchases module on OpenERP 10.
When I create a new purchase order from a RFQ it enters the Purchase Orders list with the status 'Purchase Order' and the billing status 'Bills Received'.

I then receive and validate the order, it moves to the billing status 'Waiting Bills' but never leaves the list.
If I pay the bills the billing status goes to 'Bills received' again.

How do I mark then done and filter them out of my view so I can focus on the new stuff that is coming?

You can add custom filter with billing status != Bills Received, save that filter and use by default. 
So you will always have purchase orders which are open.

Hello Cleber Goncalves,

Seems you are checking Billing status. 

You can focus on Status of Purchase Order and if you want to mark it done, you can click on Lock button in Purchase order.


Hope it helps.!

Best Regards,

Apparently this forum doesn't let me comment on replies to my own question, because I don't have enough karma, so I need to post the comment as an answer (which it isn't).

@Mital - That appears to be a workaround, which may actually not be very effective, since they get back to 'waiting bills' state after the bill is paid, so the filter will not filter then out.

@kalpana - The lock function will not really mark it as done, just stop me from changing anything there?
I would like those to be 'done' so they disappear from the list of stuff that is still waiting to be received. Soon there will be hundreds of items there and warehouse people need to be able to find the correct purchase order easily.

Why don't this have the same status as the transfers in inventory module? Would make much more sense, you receive and mark it as done, the billing tracking should be optional.

Or am I missing something here?

It may possible that purchase order containing products with Control Purchase Bills : On received quantities,

So you have to create bill after you received it.

In Purchase Order, if it's in Waiting Bills state then we can say that it's still not done because bill payment is pending.
