Purpose: Use this screen to define the percentage over the quantity ordered that may be received through PO Receiving and Store Transfer Receiving.
Percentage field: Enter the percentage amount over the quantity ordered that may be received through PO Receiving and Store Transfer Receiving. This field is 6 positions with a 2-place decimal.
Example: If this value is 10% and you ordered 100 units, but the vendor shipped 120 units, you will receive a message in PO Receiving indicating that the quantity to be received is over the tolerance limit. With the appropriate authority (defined in the Override Tolerance (A18) secured feature), you can override this tolerance limit.
This percentage is applied to each line of a purchase order or store transfer and is compared against the original order quantity on the line. For a partial shipment, the system compares the total quantity received-to-date against the original order quantity.
