The Force Process command is available only to authorized users, and only for receipts that have a status of Processing or Awaiting Processing. The command is available when you view receipt details.

After you use the Force Process command to force a receipt to Processed, the receipt can no longer be edited.

Use the Force Process command to manually force a receipt through Ariba Buyer when there has been an interruption in the receipt push process. When you force a receipt, the status changes from Processing or Awaiting Processing to Processed.

Forcing a receipt does not trigger the PO Receipt Push process (which failed when the receipt first stalled). Verify with your Ariba Buyer system administrator that the PO Receipt Push process is rerun in order to complete the receipt process.
