The MYOB Acumatica way
Where to find it: Vendors (AP303000) > Receipt Actions
- Open Vendors (AP303000) and go to the Receipt Actions section.
- Set Min. Receipt (%) and Max. Receipt (%). Each is the quantity as a percent of the quantity ordered. Less than the minimum or more than the maximum is not accepted at the warehouse.
- If you do not set a minimum or maximum, use Threshold Receipt (%). It is the minimum percent of the purchased items that must arrive to complete the order.
- Pick the Receipt Action: Reject, Accept but Warn or Accept.
- Tick Allow AP Bill Before Receipt if bills for this vendor can be entered before a purchase receipt exists.
Limits in MYOB Acumatica
- The tolerance is on quantity received as a percent of quantity ordered. No price tolerance is described in the vendor help.
- When Inventory is on, each bill line with a stock item must link to a line on a purchase order or purchase receipt. Use Add PO Receipt, Add PO Receipt Line or Add PO on the Details tab, or Link Line.
Good to know in MYOB Acumatica
