Purchase orders move through a defined lifecycle of statuses, and only certain statuses indicate that the order has been finalized and communicated to the supplier, making it eligible to have goods or services recorded against it as received. The Official Workday Pro Procure-to-Pay Guide specifies that a purchase order must be in Issued status before a receipt can be created against it, since Issued confirms the order has completed its approval process and has been sent to the supplier, who is now expected to fulfill it. Option A is incorrect because a Closed purchase order has already completed its lifecycle, whether through full receiving and invoicing or manual closure, and is not eligible for new receiving activity. Option B is incorrect because In Progress indicates the purchase order is still moving through its internal approval business process and has not yet been finalized or sent to the supplier. Option D is incorrect because Approved is an internal status that precedes issuance; the order must still be issued before receiving can occur.
