Hi Steve,

 

We've had a bpm in place on this for three years now.  It's worked well and gone thru two upgrades.  It throws an exception if user tries to receive in zero dollar PO line.

 

I've uploaded it in case it can help you out.  Its in files / bpms, called RecptNoZeroPOUnitPrice.bpm

Does anyone have a bit of code or advice on the best way to use a bpm to prevent receipts of PO lines that do not have a price on them?  I have a bpm using a pre-processing query that works to display a warning, but the hard-stop condition doesn't function well for multiple lined PO's, partial receipts, etc.  Any help or advice would be appreciated.  We are Progress 64 bit 9.05.702

Thanks in advance.

Chuck,

 

I’d advise pushing the prevention back a step to the PO, with a BPM to check the price on the PO line to not equal zero.Â

 

One note on that though – I’ve seen various instances where an inventoried item could be brought in at zero cost. Things like samples and special deals (buy 3 cases and they give you one case free). Do you ever have things like that? If so, you might want to make the BPM a warning instead of a hard stop, which would be easier to control at purchasing than receiving.

 

Regards,

 

Jeff

We have a hard stop in our system… that if a PO has a price of $0 then it cannot be received in…

 

For “free” items we use the price $0.0001
