Short close of PO

Question

Hi All,
Our Customer have tried to short close the PO's by ticking Delivery completed Indicator and Final Invocie in PO's.But they complain that still they can able to do GR for those PO's.
We have given suggestion that though Delivery completed Indicator is ticked,still GR can be made for the PO which is SAP standard.We also told them to change the PO quantity to already done GR qty to avoid this problem.
But they came again with another problem that Release strategy is getting changed if they go with the process.
As per my knowledge, when PO qty is reduced from the original PO released quantity, release will not get changed for the PO.
Pease advice how to meet the customer requirement.
Regards

Hi ,
To close the ope PO's in mass, goto t-code MEMASSPO -select the tables for purchase order item-then goto fileds-search for filed MASSEKPO-ELIKZ-select and execute-then enter all the PO's and line item and check for delivery indicator.........and save it .
For Delivery completed" indicator
The "delivery completed" indicator specifies whether an purchase order item is considered closed. This means that no more goods receipts are expected for this item. If the "delivery completed" indicator is set, the open purchase order quantity becomes zero, even if the full quantity has not been delivered. It is still possible to post goods receipts of remaining quantities, but these no longer change the open purchase order quantity.
In Customizing for Inventory Management, you can define that the "delivery completed" indicator is set automatically in the order if:
the total quantity was delivered
the underdelivery or overdelivery lies within the tolerences
If an underdelivery lies outside the tolerances, you can set this indicator manually for the order item during entry of the goods receipt to indicate that delivery for the order item is to be considered complete.
Although the "delivery completed" indicator is not set, a purchase order item is still considered closed if the full quantity has been delivered. In this case, the "delivery completed" indicator is not required.
