I just noticed that in Acumatica 2019 R2 (19.202.0034) when you try to add a Stock Item line to a Purchase Order on the Purchase Orders (PO301000) screen with an Order Qty. of 0, you get this error message:
Quantity must be greater than 0
This was new to me and I'm not sure what version it was introduced in, but I thought I would point it out. It doesn't seem to be a feature that you can turn off / turn on. At least not as far as I can tell.
It makes sense. Not sure why you would ever need to add a Stock Item line to a Purchase Order with a zero quantity.
You can lines with a Line Type of Description and an Order Qty. of 0 without getting the error which also makes sense.
It's the same in 2018.1 - actually I think it's always been that way.
Weird, I guess I just never noticed it.
Our company wants to keep a zero quantity line to alert the customer and vendor of the change. Many times we will add a note - which does show up on the PDF PO & (I think) SO, but those parties have been notorious for not reading said notes and reaching out to our company to ask why they were not ordered (implying it is our company's fault) or asking why an item was shorted. We feel leaving the zero quantity line helps identify what item was removed.
I am currently looking for a way to have a zero line item without prompting an error.
