Errors seen in Purchase Order Processing when Encumbrance Management and Requisition Management are installed

Have you ever had a situation where you were trying to receive a shipment or shipment/invoice document against a Purchase Order in the Receivings Transaction Entry window and receive the following error?  “One or more purchase order items can’t be received as they have an encumbrance status of pre-encumbered or invalid.” Starting with Microsoft Dynamics GP 10 Support started to see an increase in this error.  In many of these cases we noticed Encumbrance Management was enabled and the Purchase Order Documents that received this error came from Business Portal Requisition Management. No integration has ever been written between Business Portal Requisition Management and Encumbrance Management so we would recommend that they not be used together. When new columns (Workflow_Approval_Status and Workflow_Priority) were added to the POP10100 table for workflow functionality, it rendered steps used on previous versions as a workaround obsolete
