• Message number: 115

• Message text: The quantity entered is larger than the quantity to be reposted

What causes this issue?

You entered a quantity larger than the remaining quantity still to be
reposted from reference item &v1&.

System Response

A reference item is the same as one of the line items that you selected
for reposting, which can only be reposted in full. This means that the
total quantities of all the document items entered for a line item must
be the same as the the quantity from the original line item to be
reposted.
The remaining quantity in a reference item is thus the difference
between the total quantity of the line item to be reposted and the sum
of all the quantities entered so far in all document items for the
item.
When you first process a document item, the system defaults the
remaining quantity to be reposted from the corresponding reference
item.
You can overwrite this value, but the new value must not exceed the
default value.

How to fix this error?

Correct the value entered so that it does not exceed the remaining
quantity to be reposted from reference item &V1&.
Use <ZH>RefItem</> on a document item entered for this reference item
to see the remaining amount to be reposted for the item.
The posting data for this reference item is displayed in a modal
dialog box.
