Maximum contract quantity and purchase schedules

Infor LN 10.3

During the process of linking a purchase order line to a purchase contract line, LN verifies whether the maximum contract quantity is reached for the contract line. If this quantity is reached, depending on the Action on Exceeding Maximum Quantity field in the Purchase Contract Parameters (tdpur0100m300) session, LN either skips or links the contract line. You can also manually skip or link the same.

In the purchase schedule process, the maximum contract quantity is not checked.

Infor LN 10.4

The following is new:

  • The maximum contract quantity is also checked when linking the contract line to a purchase schedule (line).
  • If the maximum contract quantity is reached, the action to be executed is retrieved from the purchase contract line.
  • You can specify a tolerance for the maximum contract quantity. If the quantity is within the tolerance limit, the contract line can be used. However, a warning message is displayed. If the quantity exceeds the tolerance limit, the contract line is skipped and an error message is displayed.

Because of this functionality, the Action on Exceeding Maximum Quantity and Maximum Quantity Tolerance fields are added to the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) and Purchase Contract Line Details (tdpur3101m100) sessions.

These fields are also added to the Purchase Contract Line - History (tdpur3551m000) session.
