Hi Sage X3 0718 

In Sage X3 the logic is not to block the creation of the entry transaction upon the receipt but to avoid reordering more than the maximum stock (compared to the projected available stock and not the total current stock).

Statistical reordering such as periodic replenishment is the easiest way to deal with this request, here is the principle:

and how to set a product-site  with such reordering mode

Or you can use the MRP combined with maximum stock analysis, this will create some alerts when the projected stock will be over the maximum.

• From the on-line help: "Analysis of the product's maximum stock level is carried out at the end of each period. When the maximum stock level is exceeded, a warning message is generated and displayed in the MRP results inquiry. At the end of the period a VRS ("overstock" warning) is generated for the excess stock quantity. This VRS "warning" is only for information purposes and cannot be converted to a transaction."

I think this is more relevant than blocking / warning the end-user upon the stock receipt, once the truck is in front of our door (supplier receipt or customer return), it is too late to deny the truck to unload. This is why it is better to perform this control when reordering the stock.

Okay got it, thanks for explaining in detail.

>>will not prevent receiving more stock than the maximum quantity

Agreed buy that was not the request.  The request was....

>>once the maximum quantity has reached maybe a waning should be shown

My suggestion give a warning and you need to use another locaton or something.
