Does anyone know why when I auto generate a purchase order with the following settings, the computer does not calculate the quantity correctly for non stock items (no min/max/reorder)

quantity on SO is 24
quantity on Hand is 0
quantity on PO is 0

auto generating for Inventory with following selections:
Primary vendors
Below minimum
Up to maximum
Calculated quantity

Computer orders 23

Thank You
Doug

How can you be ordering a "non stock" item?

We use the term non stock to refer to Items we do not stock on our shelves but will order in if a customer requests it. We treat them the same as a stock item but keep zero on hand. We still use Purchase Orders 8.1B because it orders the correct amount.

I have duplicate this issue and forwarded it to R&D.

In the meantime, if you set the Purchase qty to Above maximum, it will calculate the correct quantity.

Thank you for looking in to this. Unfortunately if I order to above maximum I will have to reduce the maximum on over 1200 items or we will over order for every item in our warehouse and then have to increase them again when problem is fixed.

I also had success with setting a maximum of 1 on the non stock Item. With this setting and your generate options, I get 24 when I choose Purchase qty Up to maximum and 25 if it is Above maximum.

I just upgraded PurchaseOrders to 8.1D (141006) and this problem has not been resolved in this service pack.

Hi, Doug,

This issue did not make it into this SP for PO. Unfortunately, we aren't able to include everything in every release.

I have updated the issue with your comments.

Thank you

Doug
