Our finance department is creating requisitions with the Quantity field populated with the dollar amount and the unit cost field with 1 for PO's that are for services. They are also making all requisitions a special type and not using the service type when creating these. The reason being from what I have heard is you can't receive on Service PO's and there are no reports for viewing open Service PO's. One suggestion I had was to add another item type code to identify it as Special\Service or whatever code they would like to use. Any help will be appreciated.

You are only getting half-right info. You cannot receive a Service - that is correct. But the buyer expediting report - PO223 - will show open service lines - so it's not like they disappear. What they do NOT do is accrue with the auto reversing PO135/RNI each month. They hit the GL when they are invoiced so unless they are activity coded, that is the first you will see them in GL.

It isn't an "item type" - but I think most of us use a PO Code to mark the service POs.
