Setting Inbound ASN Automation Preferences
The Inbound ASN Automation Preferences page enables you to:
-
Define tolerance limits for receiving items overage at the company level.
-
Define preferences to set tolerance limits at item and vendor levels.
-
Choose your preference on how to handle purchase orders with item overage.
The preferences allow you to decide how to handle scenarios when there are more items on the ASN than open on a purchase order.
First, you can set tolerance limits for accepting item overages, and then choose between creating a purchase order or editing quantities in a purchase order to handle those overages. The SuiteApp will automatically handle exceptions based on the preferences provided the tolerance limits are not set to zero.
To set the preferences:
-
Go to Setup > Inbound ASN Automation > Preferences.
-
Click Edit.
-
To define tolerance limits at the company level, enter values in the Tolerance Preferences field group.
-
To define tolerance limits at the item or vendor level, choose an option in the Setting Overage Tolerances field group. For more information, see Setting Item and Vendor Level Tolerances.
-
To handle purchase orders with item overage, choose an option in the PO Preferences field group.
-
Click Save.
Setting Item and Vendor Level Tolerances
You can choose the following values from the Item/Vendor Level Preferences For Setting Overage Tolerances field to set item and vendor level preferences:
-
If Copy from Vendor Bill Matching is chosen, the SuiteApp copies the tolerance values from the Vendor Bill Matching section to the Inbound ASN Automation section.
-
If Define New Values is chosen, then complete the following steps.
To set tolerance limits:
-
Go to the item or vendor record.
-
In the Inbound ASN Automation section, enter tolerance values as desired.
-
Click Save.
After setting the preferences, the SuiteApp performs the following:
-
Checks tolerance limits at the item, vendor, and company levels respectively when an ASN is uploaded. If the tolerance limit exceeds at any of the levels, the ASN status is set to Error.
-
Creates or modifies a purchase order for items overage based on the preferences.
If the preferences are not set, the SuiteApp accepts any quantity of item overage and creates an inbound shipment for the ASN.
