Enhancements/Modifications
With this release of the Aptean Catch Weight extension,
- When you post an invoice from the Purchase Order page, the system calculates the invoice amount based on the actual weight received and determines any prepayment difference resulting from weight variance.

For more information, see Post purchase order.
- The system prevents deletion of a purchase order when a pending prepayment deduction exists.
- The system prevents posting of a purchase invoice for a catch weight item with prepayment when an over-delivery occurs.
