In order to prevent over-receiving, you can set the Receiving Threshold to match your business needs.
Click Settings -> Business Setup from the navigation bar.
Click on the Shipping / Receiving tab.
Select a Receipt Quantity Threshold (%) to limit the quantity that an item can be received by, relative to the amount originally specified on the Purchase Order Line Item.
Note: By default, the receiving quantity threshold is set to 200%, allowing for double the amount of whatever quantity is initially specified on a Purchase Order Line item to be received.
For the sake of example, let's adjust our Receipt Quantity Threshold to 120%
Now, when creating a Receipt, if an item exceeds 120% of the amount that was specified in a Purchase Order (in this case, attempting to receive 150 Easy-to-Machine Gray Cast Iron when the Purchase Order Line Item specified 100) the receiving amount will display a tooltip specifying the max amount of this Line Item allowed based on the Receipt Quantity Threshold.
Until the Received Quantity of all PO Line Items on the receipt are adjusted to a quantity within the receiving threshold, these errors will block Confirmation of the receipt, flagging the issue for the team to discuss with the relevant vendors to keep cost and inventory on-track.
