Application does not allow modifying the required quantity of the purchase order component line if a receipt was already made. This is because having different quantity per assembly in the different receipt transactions would cause an imbalance in M15.

It allows modifying the required quantity, by modifying the purchase order line quantity.

However, the update in required component quantity should be due to changing purchase order line quantity and not because changing qty per assembly in the component line.

So, it allows updating purchase order line qty, when there are receipts to match the “delivered quantity – returned quantity”.

Other wise it will give below error while changing the quantity.

Hence as the error message says, please make sure that

• Customer order line status is Delivered or Invoiced/Closed
• If there are previous receipts exist for the purchase order line, then the quantity required is allowed to be decreased up to the customer order line delivered quantity minus the returned quantity.
• If there are receipts, required quantity can be modified by updating purchase order line quantity.

Final solution

And the other part of the puzzle that came up in this issue - it was a PO direct.

1. To receive and close the original PO line at qty 1487
   1. Do RMAs on all the remaining components
      1. At this point - the supplier has correctly received for all 1500, but IFS thinks it has only received for 1487 - which matches the bad RMA
   2. Adjust the PO qty down (and update the pegged customer order line)
   3. Register the direct delivery
2. Create a new customer order line for the outstanding qty (13) as a PO direct
3. Create new PO line - include the components on the PO to create the customer order to ship to the supplier
4. In IFS - deliver the customer order.  No activity in the warehouse and no actual shipment because the supplier already received them
5. Register to direct delivery for the outstanding 13.
