“Purchase Order Processing Setup Information is Missing or Damaged”
While working with Microsoft Dynamics GP, I came into a situation where I was not able to open the Purchase Order Entry window regularly, following the path:
Transactions -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order Entry
Instead, I got the warning:

After researching on the internet, I found some instructions to repair it. I tried the instructions, but still nothing happened.
Then, I tried the following steps and it worked. So, if you get this message, try these easy steps. They do not require a lot of time or any new settings, and they might be helpful.
- Open the Purchase Order Processing window, using the following path:
Microsoft Dynamics GP -> Tools -> Setup -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order Processing - Open the Purchase Order Processing Setup Options window clicking the Options button on the Purchase Order Processing window.
- Click the OK button on the Purchase Order Processing Setup Options window and the window will be closed.
- Open the PA Purchase Order Processing Setup Options window clicking the Project button on the Purchase Order Processing window.
- Click the OK button on the PA Purchase Order Processing Setup Options window and the window will be closed.
- Click the OK button on the Purchase Order Processing window and the window will be closed.
Now, the Purchase Order Entry window should be accessible.

The project accounting integration is not very clean. I had a sneaking suspicion that this was the problem when I received this error on a test box.
Thank you
