Good day,

We are in the process of going through a Fit/Gap analysis for our BC implementation. We're in AP at the moment, currently the users would enter the invoices and distribute as per location, that is change the distribution.

Questions -

1. Can we group vendors in terms of business? That is if we have 5 vendors for consumables how is the grouping done, what does it mean to 'group'?

2. For non-Inventory items, such as the same consumables, can it be received and if it can, at which point can the distribution be made?

Thanks in advance for any information, and I hope I'm asking in the right community forum.

Regards

Rosemary

Hello,

You can group Vendors by Vendor posting groups, General Business Posting Group and VAT Business Posting Group.

Also you can add dimensions to the vendors.

You need to have created appropriate combinations of the vendor posting groups and general posting setup so that you can get desired general and vendor ledger entries.

Also, you can define Item Types Non-Inventory in the Item Card to represent consumables. These items won’t impact inventory valuation but will still record costs and quantities for tracking purposes.

If you have specific question about something feel free to ask.

Greetings

Good day,

Thank you for your response, it sounds like that will work for us. Currently the AP invoices for non-Inventory when entered the cost is divided as per location and department.

My knowledge currently of Dimensions is what I have read. Would you be able to recommend a site where I can get information on vendor posting groups as well as general posting setup.

Thanks much

Rosemary
