Symptoms

PO Receipt can be Created After Project's Finish Completion Date Causing Exception PA_EX_PROJECT_DATE error in PAAPIMPR  
 
Example: a project's transactions dates: 15-SEP-2010  - 15-NOV-2011
The system will prevent Requisition or PO creation for the project which date is over the finish date (after 15-NOV-2011).

However, if a Requisition, PO is created for the project with date before the project's finish date, then the PO receipt can be created with a date after the Project's finish date (after 15-NOV-2011).

The project expenditure date is the PO receipt's date, thus this will shown as exception in the transfer program.
PRC: Interface Supplier Costs  / Supplier Cost Interface Exceptions report shows error (PA_EX_PROJECT_DATE):

There should be a check on the PO receipt as well which should prevent the
PO receipt creation if the PO is linked to a project and the PO receipt's
date is after the project's transaction date.
