SAP Note 27222 - Goods receipt not possible with status 'created'

Symptom:

It is possible to create a purchase order for an order if this order has the status 'created'..
It is not possible to post a goods receipt for a created order.

Cause and prerequisites

No error.
This system setting allows you to order purchases with a longer purchase order period without you being able to post these purchase orders to the order.

Solution
The order must be set to status 'free' before goods receipt since it is now debited with actual costs.
If it is not required to create a purchase order for a created order, this can be determined by means of a user status in the system.
