Re: Shipped Qty Problem

["Eric A. Wolf" <eric_a_wolf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It could be as simple as the user thinking that they have to key the right 3
decimals (forgetting to key in the decimal point).   You also may want to
look at the MAPICS UE/API that does not allow overshipments.  This would not
be useful if you company allows overshipments on some orders, however...
