multi PO shipment
Summary:
The received lpn qty does not always get associated to the correct PO.

ASNs are created manually in WMS for each inbound receipt. These ASNs often have multiple POs and the POs often have the same items being received together.
Procurement generates 2 purchase orders to vendor to produce 20,000 of item ABC. PO X for 10,000 and PO Y for 10,000. Assume Item ABC full LPN is 10,000.
Vendor produces all 20,000 and ships both POs together on the same trailer. Driver arrives, checks in and receiving office creates an ASN manually based on the paperwork driver provides. Turns out there were some overages when producing and so PO X comes in for 10,100 and PO Y for 10,200. We allow a 10% overage so no big deal and ASN is created for 20,000.
