Over Recieve PO, PO Overages

rpark

Is anyone aware of a way to over receive a PO line item in Navision without changing the original order quantity

My client will accept overage on PO's and does not want to change the original PO qty as they want to be able to track the original order qty compared to the qty received

Thanks

how about adding another line on the PO for the same item with the additional qty.

or if you don't want it known or have to pay for the extra :-#

you could always enter an Item Journal entry type "Purchase" and plus it into stock. :roll:

not that I have ever done that :^o

awarn

You could also archive the original PO and then change the quantity.

you could also add a new field 'original quantity' and populate it with the quantity the first time the order is released.

We actually do this on our sales orders, works great. We have added a Qty_Ordered field.

Now on our invoices we have two columns 1 for qty_ordered & 1 for qty-shipped.

Is there anyway to just allow user to receive more than was ordered, and Just provide a warning message? Other solututions I have worked with allow this.

Would this be a major change that would mess up accounting logic

Do not want to have to go to the trouble of changing the PO because this happens alot as the contract with the suppling vendor allows for overages

We were allowed to do this in an old Macola accouting system. But receiving merchandise and creating Vendor invoices were not connected. Receiving was seperate and we had to manually enter invoices. Creating Invoices right from PO's has saved us a ton of time.

anyway...
With customization anything is possible but is it really that much extra work to do it one of the suggested ways?

Our customer have this modification from us too, because they are ordering some quantity, but vendor is sending some quantity, which have... it can be less or more than ordered. The customer want to track this to sort vendors into quality classes... on order they have new field - original quantity... :-) It seems as common solution of this problem... because it is only for reporting, it is easy way...
