KNOWLEDGE BASE

ORDER VARIANCE

In some trades, the quantities received may not be exactly what is specified in the purchase order. For example, user may issue a purchase an order for 20 kg of CODE FISH, and the final delivered quantity may be 20.5 kg instead of 20 kg.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

IMPLEMENTATION

A field is available in Product Master called "Order Variance Allowed" (default value 0%). To use, enter the order variance percentage allowed. For example, if this value is entered as 5%, then when a Purchase Order is entered as 100 PCS, the system will allow GRN (SG) and Invoice (SE) to receive up to 105 PCS. If the received quantity is below the order quantity, the system will allow as normal.

Similarly, if the Sales Order is entered as 100 PCS, the system will allow DO (CY) and Invoice (CE) to receive up to 105 PCS without restriction.

Steps:

1. Go to product and Maintenance > Attribute > Order Variance Allowed (%)

Fill up according the order variance allowed. Ex: 10%

2. Sales Transaction

Create CO.

Create CE, when user load the CO in CE, system will allow the quantity to receive up to 11qty.

NOTES:

This product allows a quantity variance of 10% and therefore can accept delivery in excess of 10 PCS with a 10% margin. This means the system can allow to receive up to 11 PCS, without any restrictions

What will happen if the user encodes 12 PCS during receiving?

The system will not allow it, it will prompt.

3. Purchase Transaction (Same Scenario in Sales Module)

Create SO.
Create SE, when user load the SO in SE, system will allow the quantity to receive up to 12qty because of maintained order variance.

In SE also, same scenario in Sales, that if the qty keyin is more that from SO qty and order variance, system will prompt not to allow.
