IJ25255: A PARTIAL RECEIVED QUANTITY FOR A ROTATING ITEM IS ALLOWABLE WHEN THE PO SPECIFIES A WHOLE NUMBER FOR THE ORDER UNIT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DESCRIPTION:
  The Receiving application allows rotating items to be received
  in fractional quantities. For example, if an ordered quantity
  is 1, it is allowable to enter .5 as the Received Quantity. The
  result, in this example, is that 2 rotating assets can be
  received on a PO that has a quantity of 1. Please note that the
  resulting Inventory Last Cost is still the full cost of the
  item.

  RESULT:
  -The Receipts field updates to PARTIAL, and another rotating
  item/asset can be received
  -The Last Cost on the Inventory record for the item is the cost
  for a quantity of 1, 200.00.
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  If the PO specifies a whole number for the Order Unit, and the
  Conversion Factor on the PO is 1, then a fractional Received
  Quantity is not allowable in the Receiving application
