SOP/MOP linked orders

[Kay Farris [MSFT]]

Go to Sales Order Processing Setup>Additional>Manufacturing Sales Order
Prefs. There's a field called "Edit SO QTY's when MO is attached Process
Security". You can choose a "security set" to authorize users to edit the
sales line quantities. To setup a security set, go to Manufacturing system
setup and choose Process Security. You can base a process security on either
User ID or you can require a password.

We are using MOP /SOP link to create manufacturing orders through sales
orders. All sales orders are back ordered and based on those orders we create
manufacturing orders.
The issue we are having is that
Let us say that we get an order for item X - quantity 1000
We put in a Manufacturing order for item X - quantity 1000.
At the time of manufacture, we end up getting a total output of say 1012.
We usually ship the entire output of 1012.
When we try to edit the quantity to invoice in the Sales Order and make it
1012 , it does not allow us.
The only way the system allows editing the Sales Order is if the link to the
MO is removed
Is there a way to edit the sales order without removing the link to the MO?
Is this some kind of a bug in GP because we should not have to remove the
MO/SO link in order to edit the quantity on the sales order?

I am using version 9.0 and there is no additional option under the
Setup-->Sales Order Processing.
I am not sure where to find the options that you describe.
Thanks
