Symptom
You create the Purchase Order DEF and the Goods and Service Receipt GHI as the follow-up document for DEF (DEF represents the Purchase Order ID, GHI reprensents the Goods and Service Receipt ID).
The Goods and Service Receipt GHI cannot be posted in accounting because of the following error: Error: Cannot process Goods and Services Receipt GHI because Purchase Order DEF not yet posted in accounting. As Goods and Services Receipt GHI contains a reference to Purchase Order DEF but Purchase Order DEF has not been posted in accounting, it is impossible to process Goods and Services Receipt GHI. Check why Purchase Order DEF has not been posted.
