Problem:
Working in Business Central, a small business needs their warehouse person to only Receive against Purchase Orders. Unfortunately, they keep selecting Receive and Invoice in error. They don’t need or want more complex warehousing, just a way to stop the accidental invoicing of purchase orders on receipt.
Solution:
If current on updates, go to User Setup and add the warehouse worker if a record does not already exist. Go to Purch. Invoice Posting Policy and select Prohibited. This user now only has the option to receive when posting a purchase order. Additionally, this same limitation can be applied to shipping sales orders. Now, this prohibition is very limited, it only applies to orders. You will need to use permissions to restrict users from accessing unposted invoices.
