2 Step transfer receipt with over quantity

Hi,

I have created a two-step transfer for a single item with a quantity of 100 kg and subsequently generated a receipt to receive the items. However, in this scenario, the item absorbs moisture, resulting in a received quantity greater than 100 kg. When attempting to enter the actual received quantity, the system displays an error, since the entered quantity exceeds the in-transit quantity, and does not allow the transaction to be saved.

Could you please advise if there is any method or configuration in Acumatica that would allow receiving more than the in-transit quantity under such circumstances?

Thanks,

Nadeeka

Hi ​@nswaranamalie30 ,

We deal with similar situations often, and unfortunately for this scenario there isn’t a way to increase the receipt beyond the Shipped Qty.  We use a combination of Inventory Adjustments and Kits to shift quantities, depending on the situation.

You could probably get a customization done to remove that lock, but it makes sense why it natively doesn’t allow it; the result would be an unbalanced journal entry.  The transfer must for account for what was expected, then the quantity change to Inventory against an offsetting account.

Best of luck!
