Hello,

I would like to set up an over shipment tolerance using this field to avoid Buyer Messages (PO52) from being created when an over receipt occurs.

I am unsure what % to put in here to allow over receipts on PO line quantities.

For example: I entered '50.00' in the 'Over Shipment Percentage' field.

I then tried to receive in 15 EA on a PO line that orders 10 EA. A Buyer Message (PO52) was created for the line (which should not have happened).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just recreated your scenario on our test server and the receiver released without creating a buyer message. Are you sure the company on your test PO is the same as the company you changed the overshipment percentage?

Hi Jon - the companies match. I set the "Disable Overshipment Messages" = Y and tried to over receive and I was able to receive the line without creating a buyer message.
However, I do not want to leave the tolerance this wide open.

I wouldn't either. The 10 EA on the line wasn't already received when you received the additional 15 EA was it?

It was not. The 10 EA was still open to receive.
