Hi Mary,

The Receive Unit Template field indeed should not be required.  It 
became required in 2.1, but experimentation is telling me that it does 
not need to be, and that copy-less receiving does work fine without a 
value there.

Good find!  A minor patch should fix this, so I will create a bug report 
on Launchpad and provide a patch there.

Thanks,
