We have a new implementation of Acumatica and are finding our way around. We have noticed that it is possible to receipt a higher qty of items than was on the original PO, it seems like at least double or more. How can we prevent or limit this? On the vendor the max% is set to 100. Surely it should not allow more than 100%?

Hi
Customization
When a user tries to enter a more than Purchase Order Qty, the system will provide a validation error message.
Hope this helps!
Hi, sounds like you have the maximum receipt threshold already set to 100% but do you have the receipt action set to reject? With these settings below, the system will only allow you to receive an amount that matches the purchase order quantity ordered field. The system will prevent you from over receiving in this case.
Thank you so much, this is super helpful, I’ve been getting all caught up in the percentages and not taking much notice of the dropbox showing “Accept but warn” 
But it is not coming through that way to my PO’s for this vendor. I thought this would be at least the default action?
Yes it should be the default action. But when you import your vendors you can set it to Reject - with the initial implementation. The problem also with it not being set to Reject as the default is that if Users forget to correct this then it defaults to what is usually a breach of company policy when managing receipt of items… so fully agree that the default should be set to Reject.
OK this is now resolved. However - the vendor class default is only used on the main vendor location, other vendor locations do not use this default, they seem to be using a system default for receipt actions. A separate issue, but possibly a bit of a bug.
