Business Central, Purchase Order: Where is the Purchase Receipt Posting Date?
Hello!
We are testing Purchase Orders Receipts and noticed the Posting Date on the Item Ledger Entries is the date the Purchase Order was created. Is there a way to get the Purchase Receipt date added to the item ledger entries? We have one team that has multiple lines on their PO and will have many different receipt dates. They want to refer back to the date that the items were received.
Thank you!

If the received date is entered in Posting Date field either:
1) If Basic Warehouse, populate the receipt date as the Posting Date on the purchase order header.
or
2) If Advanced Warehouse, populate the receipt date as the Posting Date is entered in the purchase warehouse receipt header.
Also, I would review the Purchase & Payables setup page:
1) Look at your Default Posting field selection
Specifies which date must be used as the default posting date on purchase documents. If you select Work Date, the Posting Date field will be populated with the work date at the time of creating a new purchase document. If you select No Date, the Posting Date field will be empty by default and you must manually enter a posting date before posting.
2) There is also a Link Doc. Date to Posting toggle. If enabled, the document date changes when the posting date is modified.

Thank you, Tiffany! We have an approval process tied to our PO using Power Automate. We’ll test to see if changing the header date for the receipt date will send it back for approval.
We are using the basic warehousing. We did check the Purchase & Payables setup page to did see that work date was set.
The Link Doc. Date to Posting toggle is also on. Does the work date supersede the Link Doc. Date to Posting where it will only keep the date in the PO header?

With that button toggled on it just links the Document Date to the same date as the Posting Date when you receive or invoice the document and then the two dates match.
Order Date which is the date the document was created.
Document Date which will change based on any posting date when that toggle is turned on in the setups.
Posting Date should be updated and populated with the date the PO is being received or invoiced. You can back date this date to the date the PO was physically received as long as it is within the General Ledger setup posting date range or User Setup posting date range.
