Receiving PO lines with archived products

It is common for a product (SKU) to be archived after a purchase order is already open — for example, when a supplier is transitioning to a replacement style. Luminous now handles this case without aborting the receipt.

What happens when you submit the receiving report

  1. When you save a receiving report with an archived SKU on it, a dialog titled Archived product(s) on this receipt appears before anything is saved.
    1. It lists the archived SKUs. Click Proceed to receive them against their archived record, or Cancel to go back and edit.
  3. You can:
    • Proceed — the stock is received normally and cost layers are created against the archived SKU.
    • Cancel — return to the receiving report to adjust the quantities or remove the line if needed.

Things to know

  • Receiving against an archived product does not automatically un-archive it. The product remains archived after receiving.
  • Inventory, cost layers, and any associated bills are created normally — archiving affects visibility and ordering, not the financial record.
  • If you want to stop receiving against an archived SKU entirely, remove or zero-out its line on the receiving report before saving.
