PO Items Received Not Reconciled (check box)

Inventory levels are affected whenever an item is received and placed in inventory. Usually this is accounted for with a posted Accounts Payable Invoice entry. However, there will be times when items are ordered using a Purchase Order and the items are shipped and received before an Accounts Payable invoice is received. When the items are received in this manner, they can be accounted for by Reconciling the Purchase Order with a Packing Slip. This process does yet create an AP Invoice, so the items are marked as "Received but Not Yet Invoiced". To include these items in the listing, check this box.
