Buyer message receiving

A receiving buyer message is a message that is created when the items that are being received exceed tolerances. The buyer who originated the purchase order must review the quantity overshipped and decide whether to return the overshipment or keep the overshipment. All messages must be closed before the receiver can be released in Receiving .

For example, when you set up your company, you indicate whether you accept overshipments at the company level. If you accept overshipped items, then define the percentage of overshipped items that is acceptable. If the order exceeds the overshipment tolerance, then a buyer message is created. The buyer must review the quantity overshipped and decide whether to return the overshipment or keep the overshipment.

When items are received and overshipment tolerances are exceeded, a reviewing buyer message is created. The buyer who originated the purchase order must review the quantity overshipped and decide whether to keep the overshipment or return it to the vendor.

A company can employ commitment budget edits in PO Company. If the receiving buyer message or receiving adjustment buyer message exceeds the commitment budget, then the buyer must edit the budget, the receipt, or the receiving adjustment. This is so that the edit can occur and the buyer message can be released.
