If a person does not have the rights to enter Receipt of vendor invoice in PO, they should not be able to enter an invoice in receipt of goods. The receiver should not see the invoice number and invoice date fields in receipt of goods, if they are not allowed to do receipt of invoice in PO.

This is a major flaw for companies that need to comply with SOX and want to keep a separation of duties between the receiver and person doing invoice entry. This would assist in preventing fraud.
