What are the configuration options to allow for over-receiving?
How can I allow over receiving of my order?
The following four parameters work in tandem to create an over-receiving policy:
| Parameter | Description |
| Application.Procure.OverReceivingOperator | If set to AND, all over-receiving thresholds must be met to allow over-receiving. If set to OR, the highest threshold is permitted for over-receiving. |
| Application.Procure.OverReceivingPercentage | The percentage above each line-item quantity/amount that can be received. |
| Application.Procure.OverReceivingQuantity | The number above the each line-item quantity that can be received. |
| Application.Procure.OverReceivingValue | The amount above each line-item total that can be received. |
Consider the following parameter settings, for example:
- Application.Procure.OverReceivingOperator: OR
- Application.Procure.OverReceivingPercentage: 10
- Application.Procure.OverReceivingQuantity: 0
- Application.Procure.OverReceivingValue: 1000
The OR operator means that only one of the three over-receiving parameters must be met to allow over-receiving up to that threshold. Therefore, your site permits receiving up to the level of the most permissible parameter setting. Use the AND operator to require all three parameters to be met to allow over-receiving.
Example #1
Quantity: 100
Unit Price: $150
Amount: $15,000
Thresholds:
Percentage: 100 x 1.1 = 110
Quantity: 100 + 0 = 100
Value: $15,000 + $1,000 = $16,000
You can receive up to a quantity of 110 for this order (over-receiving by a quantity of 10). The quantity (0) is a non-factor, and the value parameter only allows receiving up to a quantity of 106. Because the operator is OR, your site allows receiving up to a quantity of 110 and an overall amount of $16,500.
Example #2
Quantity: 100
Unit Price: $20
Amount: $2,000
Thresholds:
Percentage: 100 x 1.1 = 110
Quantity: 20 + 0 = 20
Value: $2,000 + $1,000 = $3,000
You can receive up to a quantity of 150 for this order (over-receiving by a quantity of 50). The quantity (0) is a non-factor, and the percentage parameter only allows receiving up to a quantity of 110. Because the operator is OR, your site uses the value-related parameter to allow receiving up to a quantity of 150 and an overall amount of $3,000.
See Why was I able to over-receive beyond the thresholds set by the overreceiving parameters? for more information on scenarios where these parameters can be violated.
