PO Tolerance Under

The PO Tolerance Under field can be blank, 0, or any positive number. This determines what quantities can be received below the ordered quantity and when the PO Line status changes to Filled.

When the PO Tolerance Under is blank, you may receive any quantity below the ordered quantity; PO Line status is set to Filled if the received quantity is equal to or more than the ordered quantity. When the vale in the field is 0, you receive what has been ordered and nothing less; PO Line status is set to Filled if received quantity is equal to the ordered quantity. When the value in the field is a positive number, you may receive any quantity below the ordered quantity; PO Line status is set to Filled if the received quantity is equal to or greater than the lower tolerance limit.

When a new item is added to the system  and the Source field for the item  is set to Purchased, the PO Tolerance Under value from the Purchasing Parameters form serves as the default value on the Items or Multi-Site Items form. You can then specify a new tolerance factor for the item by entering a new value. The value on the Purchasing Parameters form is only used as the initial default for the Items form and is not used during PO receiving.

When an existing item's Source field is changed to Purchased, the PO Tolerance Under field is enabled on the Items or Multi-Site Items form. When an existing item's Source field is changed from Purchased to something else, the PO Tolerance Under field is set to a null value and the field is disabled.
