Is it appropriate to use a standard External File Template load to set the Closed Date on a Purchase Order Receipt's Purchasing Info tab — used specifically to clear leftover received-but-not-yet-invoiced quantity showing on the RNI (Received Not Invoiced) report — rather than typing the date in manually each time?

Answer

Yes, this is a safe and correct approach — entering a Closed Date to indicate that no further invoice is expected is the correct standard process for clearing leftover quantity from the RNI report, and there's no embedded business logic tied specifically to how that date gets entered (manual typing vs. an external file load). Using an External File Template to automate setting this field is fine for this specific purpose.
