If you allow over receipt of goods, Oracle Purchasing reverses only encumbrances associated with the original purchase order, not encumbrances associated with any additional goods you have received.

Example

You order 5 items at $4.00 each. Oracle Purchasing creates encumbrances for $20.00. You receive an extra item. While you record actual expenses of $24.00 upon receipt, Oracle Purchasing creates encumbrance reversals of $20.00, since that was the amount of encumbrance associated with the original order.
