Do you feel nervous when you are receiving Goods and the pop-up message "You cannot receive more than X units" appears?
Well, old times and old versions!
Dynamics 365 BC Wave 1 2020 has nice news for you! There is a new feature to allow Over Receipt with Control over Purchase Orders.
The official release note is available here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365-release-plan/2020wave1/dynamics365-business-central/receive-more-items-than-ordered
Besides this release note, some additional useful information:
The pop-up message "You cannot receive more than X units" was replaced by pop-up message "You cannot enter more than 0 in the Over-Receipt Quantity field" if no Over-Receipt setup is done
There are two new fields in Purchase Line: Over-Receipt Quantity and Over-Receipt Code
To setup the Over-Receipt feature, you only need to setup the field Over-Receipt Code in Item Card or Vendor Card. If you setup this option in Vendor Card, it will apply to all Items purchased to that Vendor. If you setup this option in Item Card, it will apply to all purchases for that item for all Vendors
If you setup the Over-Receipt feature in both at the same time (Item Card and Vendor Card) and for a specific purchase order with that combination, it will apply with the higher restrictive rule (lowest Over Receipt %)
For all over-receipt cases accepted, the new two fields in Purchase Line: Over-Receipt Quantity and Over-Receipt Code are updated. The field Over-Receipt Quantity with the difference between the original ordered quantity and the Quantity to Receive. The field Over-Receipt Code with the code applied. At the same time, the original Quantity field will be updated with the same value as Quantity to Receive
The new Over-Receipt feature is only applicable to Purchase Lines with Type=Item. The Items can be Stock Items or Service Items!
It is also possible to trigger a workflow for all the Over-Receipts cases (boolean field Approval Required should be Yes in Over-Receipt Code table).
All the previous notes are also applicable to Locations that Require Receipt. So, the Over-Receipt configuration will work same way working with Warehouse Receipts and not only receiving directly in Purchase Orders.
All the previous notes are only applicable to Purchase Orders. Transfer Orders does not allow to Over-receipt.
Over-receipt yourself! With control.
