what does overage not allowed mean

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In the context of NetSuite, "overage not allowed" typically refers to the system's restriction on entering a quantity that exceeds the original quantity specified in a transaction. This could be in the context of Purchase Orders (PO), Inbound Shipments, Item Fulfillments, or Vendor Return Authorization (VRA). For example, if a PO is created for 100 units of an item, and the supplier ships 105 units, the system will not allow you to enter a quantity of 105 in the Inbound Shipment or Item Receipt if the "Allow Overage" feature is not enabled. This is to ensure that the quantities match between the PO and the Inbound Shipment/Item Receipt. Similarly, in the context of Item Fulfillments or VRAs, if the "Allow Overage" feature is not enabled, users cannot enter a quantity that exceeds the original quantity specified in the Sales Order or VRA. However, there are certain scenarios where overages might be allowed, such as when the supplier over-ships items. In such cases, if the "Allow Overage" feature is enabled, the extra items can be added to the Item Receipt and billed on the same PO. Please note that allowing overages might have implications on inventory management and costing, so it's important to consider these factors when deciding whether to enable this feature. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
