Allow set-up to have an option to PROHIBIT over payment of subcontracts and/or purchase orders.

Currently, there is a Warning message when an invoice entered exceeds a subcontract or purchase order amount. We would like the option to PROHIBIT an invoice from being entered that exceeds the committed amounts. (therefore requiring an change order or PO modification to be generated)

    The warning message that you mention is set up in the Accounts Payable Settings function.  

    There are 3 messages in this set up.

    Warn if Cost > Budget

    Warn if Invoiced Quantity > Ordered Quantity

    Warn if Invoiced Quantity > Received Quantity

    For each of these there is an option to Warn and Prevent Transaction.  If you select this choice, during Enter Vendor Invoice a message will display indicating the user cannot continue with the transaction.

    The option that it seems we need to add to the AP Settings and provide the 3 options is

    Warn if Cost > Open Committed Cost


    Would you agree?
