Can someone tell me the purpose of the parameter "Automatic Addition" in simple terms? I've read the help but still do not fully understand what this parameter does. What is this parameters purpose?

Thanks

Sometimes inventory transactions get "fragmented", i.e. split into many very similar InventTrans records with small quantities. Automatic addition turns on a mechanism that is activated from many inventory-related operations. The mechanism checks if similar InventTrans records exist that have the same origin, inventory dimensions combination, issue and receipt status (that doesn't update financial or physical inventory stocks, such as registration, arrival, reservation, picking) and then it groups all such InventTrans records, sums all quantity and amount fields and deletes all but the summed up record.

Hi,

Gloomie is correct, In addition the fields physical voucher, physical date, financial voucher and financial date should be unique.

A simple example:

If you turn off this parameter try the next steps:

- Create a purchase order for a product and order 10 pieces.

- Post a product receipt for 11 pieces.

Now you have two inventory transactions related to this purchase order line. One line for the original 10 ordered and one line for the additional received quantity. When the parameter was turned on, it was summed up on one transaction.

Hi Mohamed,

If you have multiple batch numbers, then this is a valid reason for having multiple lines. This is also the case if there are e.g. differences in the physical receipt number or invoice.

Hi Andre

It supposed to create one batch number automatically during receive the purchase order.

I think it's because some reason in master planning, when i disabled master planning the problem solved and it create it in one line.
