@LeeGrisham asks, Is there a way to change or disable receiving tolerance for Products with a catch weight?

It makes it very difficult to accept any meat and seafood POs when most of their items are received by weight.

Maybe Tolerance could be set by Price or Quantity separately instead of both together? That's how I read the Help Article which has two examples:

Example #1: If the tolerance is set to 50%, and the quantity on the original purchase order is 2.00, then any entered quantity above 50% of that original quantity (3.01 and above), would result in being above the allowed tolerance for that product. In addition, the extended cost will also change according to the new quantity entered

Example #2: If the tolerance is set to %50, and the vendor price on the original purchase order is $20.00, then any entered price above 50% of that original price (30.01 and above), would result in being above the allowed tolerance for that product.

I thought it made a difference to put the % in front of the numerals, but I find I can't enter that into the Tolerance field.

@Hudley Grisham via @John Edwards,

Thank you for your query.

Current functionality of Receiving Tolerance is property-wide for all products, so it cannot be changed or disabled for catch weight products (or any other type of product) & the percentage is set against both price &/or quantity as one figure.

The 2 examples referenced are highlighting that exceeding 50% on either price or quantity would result in the receiving being out of tolerance; I believe that the % being in front of the numerals is referring to the fact that the figure set in Property->Administration->Property Preferences->Receiving is always a % rather than a quantity or currency numeral.

Please let us know if you have any follow-up questions around this topic.

Best
