Hi,

I've a scenario where currently we get receiving via REST API in respective stores. PO is also integrated from ERP but not with the REST API and this integration has a middle layer of Information Broker (Message Queueing) with many issues in it that most of the times POs are stuck there and GRN (Receiving) become unsuccessful due to absence of POs.

Can we disable validation of PO/PO Line in Receiving as our goal is to increase/decrease the balances of an item in the store so that it is available for the Workorders. I'd also like to understand how some organizations who don't have the procurement module implemented can use Maximo Inventory. 

One of the workaround I thought is the Inventory adjustments but doesn't seem feasible as it will not track the external reference id. Or we can move POs also to the REST APIs.

By keeping POs away from Maximo can also impact licensing aspects.

Thanks,

Shahid
