POP Return w/Credit error - The quantity returned can't exceed 23

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by CP-Steve 285

Hi all,

Here's hoping someone can help me out on this error we receive.

A PO was received all good and well, however we now want to return one of the line items received (100 of), however, when I enter 100 in the Quantity Returned field and step off the field, I receive the following error;

The qunatity returned can't exceed 23. This is the maximum available based on the item and receipt number. Please enter a smaller quantity to return.

100 were received on the receipt, there are 160 on hand and I cannot work out where the 23 comes from??

Any ideas, suggestions or hopefully a solution would be most appreciated.

Knowledge Base search on "The quantity returned can't exceed" returned zero documents.

Google search returned three - but contained no answers.

Cheers, Steve

    The FIFO/LIFO stack table maintains an entry for each receipt of each item and the PO number used to receive the item.  When you use the item, the quantity used is incremented for these lines.  You can only returned unused quantities using the Return with Credit option.

    For example, you received 100 off of PO x,  You then received another 100 off of PO y,   You issued 77 pieces and PO x was used to supply these.  When you try to return the item against PO x, only 23 that were received on that PO are available.  Now, the fact that all the items are identical and that you received both x and y from the same vendor is ignored.

    Use the other option on POs to return the items (Inventory w/ Credit)

    All of this is explained in our book, Understanding Purchase Order Processing.

    Thanks for your help. I did as suggested and thus applied the return against the opening IV transfer.

    Any chance of you being able to post me some of your books that I buy, instead of using UPS?

    You will have to call the office to have them sent by mail.  Where are you located?  I will have them pre-calculate the postal charges.
