Quantity on item tracking in purchase lines

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by Brett F 394
When we assign a lot number in the item tracking for a purchase line, it always defaults in the Outstanding Quantity from the Purchase Line. Is there a setting or suggestion for how to have the Quantity default to the Qty to Receive instead?

    I hope you are using Assign Lot No. function.
    You can try this.
     
     [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Page, Page::"Item Tracking Lines", 'OnAssignTrackingNoOnAfterCalcQtyToCreate', '', true, true)]
        local procedure OnAssignTrackingNoOnAfterCalcQtyToCreate_UsePurchaseQtyToReceive(var TrackingSpecification: Record "Tracking Specification"; var SourceTrackingSpecification: Record "Tracking Specification"; var TotalTrackingSpecification: Record "Tracking Specification"; var QtyToCreate: Decimal; FieldID: Integer)
        begin
            if FieldID <> TrackingSpecification.FieldNo("Lot No.") then
                exit;
     
            if SourceTrackingSpecification."Source Type" <> Database::"Purchase Line" then
                exit;
     
            if SourceTrackingSpecification."Source Subtype" in [2, 5] then
                exit;
     
            QtyToCreate := SourceTrackingSpecification."Qty. to Handle (Base)";
        end;

    here’s no standard setting in Business Central to make the Quantity in Item Tracking Lines default to the Qty. to Receive instead of the Outstanding Quantity. However, if this behavior is critical to your workflow, you can achieve it through AL customization.

    By modifying the logic in the ItemTrackingLines page or extending the ItemTrackingManagement codeunit, you can set the default quantity to match Qty. to Receive. This ensures more accurate tracking, especially during partial receipts.

    Hello,
     

    No, there’s no standard Business Central setting to make the item tracking line default to Qty. to Receive instead of Outstanding Quantity  it will pull from Outstanding Quantity. If you want it to behave differently, the options are: Manually edit the quantity in the Item Tracking Lines to match Qty. to Receive each time or use a customization (small AL modification) to change the default source field from Outstanding Quantity to Qty. to Receive in the item tracking page logic.

    Hope this answer will help you!

    Regards,
    Mansi Soni
