Quantity Cumulative Exception Handling Examples

For orders with multiple shipments or partial shipments, the invoice quantity is only capable of matching the received quantity in the POH on the first shipment/invoice. The reason is that the received quantity in the POH accumulates after each shipment and the invoice quantity represents only that invoice’s quantity. See the following example for a purchase order of 10 widgets with multiple shipments/invoices that result in several exceptions.

To have the application manage received quantity exceptions cumulatively, select the Cumulative Quantity Mismatch checkbox on the PO Exception Criteria page. By tracking the received quantity, order quantity, and cumulative invoice quantity, you will see fewer exceptions because exceptions won't occur until either the received quantity or the order quantity is exceeded.
