Multiple inventory transactions for batch numbers when On physical update is disabled

KB number: 4613390

Symptoms

Multiple inventory transactions are created after you adjust a purchase order line for items where the On physical update option of the batch number group is set to No.

When you create an item where the On physical update option of the batch number group is set to No, the system automatically creates a new batch number if you modify a purchase line quantity and save the purchase order page.

Resolution

The On physical update setting for batch number groups works in the following way:

• When the option is set to Yes, new batch numbers are created only after a physical update (for example, when items are shipped or received).
• When the option is set to No, a new batch number is created every time that an applicable update occurs (for example, when a new quantity is added to a purchase order).
