Quantity validation during receiving

Receipt validation is the process by which the application checks for specific data on an item during the receiving process. It validates that the data is accurate before allowing the receipt to process.

You can use receipt validation to set up a template, define validation requirements for the template, and apply the template to owner records. When the template is applied to the owner, the receipt validation requirements are applied to all items for that owner. The only quantity validation performed at the time of receipt is for overages.

  • If the Perform Qty Validation field located under the ASN Overage heading on the Receipt Validation Template is set to Yes, the system validates the quantity received with the expected quantity on the ASN, and relays any discrepancies.
  • If the Perform Qty Validation field located under the PO Overage heading on the Receipt Validation Template is set to Yes, the system validates the quantity received with the expected quantity on the purchase order, and relays any discrepancies.

To configure a Receipt Validation:

  1. Select Configuration > Validation Rules > Receipt.
  2. Click New. The Receipt Validation Detail screen is displayed in Form View.

    For additional information, see the Infor WMS Configuration User Guide.

    The message below displays when you attempt to confirm a receipt on which the receipt quantity exceeds the expected quantity by a lesser percentage than defined in the Overage Override % field.

    The override message displays when you attempt to confirm a receipt where the receipt quantity exceeds the expected quantity by an equal or greater percentage than defined on the Overage Override % field, but less than the percent defined in the Overage Hard Error % field.

    You must specify a valid reason code to complete the receipt transaction.

    Note:  An over-receipt can occur against the ASN, PO, or both documents.

    The reason code is updated on the ASN Item Summary tab and on the PO Detail screen.

    The message below displays when you attempt to confirm a receipt where the receipt quantity exceeds the expected quantity by an equal or greater percentage than defined on the Over Hard Error % field. You cannot complete the receipt transaction on the current ASN.
