-
If project default ZP_MCS_INC default is not set or set to 0 (zero), the item shipment quantity is the highest allowed MCS quantity value. If ZP_MCS_INC is set to a value greater than 0 (zero), the highest allowed value is given by the following formula:
Item ship quantity * ((100 + ZP_MCS_INC)/100)
For example, if ZP_MCS_INC is set to 50, you can increase the MCS quantity up to 150% of the current item shipment quantity.
If then the MCS quantity is greater than the current item shipment quantity, the MCS quantity is copied over as the new item shipment quantity.
