to streamline the inbound process for vendors that don't provide an ASN, we will create an inbound load, based on the vendor packing slip information. We then print a load document in a uniform way, with all required barcodes so that the warehouse worker can use it for Load item receiving. The quantity entered on the load line is updated with the quantity from the vendor packing slip. In a lot of cases, this qty is more than ordered. However, the system does not allow this.
Even if over-delivery percentage is filled in on the load line (e.g.1000%) it is still not possible to enter a load line quantity that is greater than the PO line quantity for which the load is created. The system shows a warning message: "The quantity is greater than the quantity left to load for load line for Purchase order, order number PO..." but in fact this is treated as a blocking error (not able to save the load line). This is inconsistent with how the same load would behave when a packing structure is added for that inbound load. When adding a packing structure, I can create a packing structure line for a qty that is more than the load line quantity (and thus more than the PO line qty). When scanning the label from the packing structure (LP receiving) the packing structure quantity is registered and the work created qty on the load line is updated with the qty from the LP in the packing structure. When the load is 'receiving completed' the load line qty is updated with the packing structure qty. If it is possible to allow this via Packing structure, it should also be allowed to update the qty directly on the load line. If that requires an auto-update of deliver remainder (behind the scenes) to make this technically work, then that's probably how it should be done.
