Hi

Let say I setup a brand new company with Advanced WMS (zone/bin/ directed setup one) and company has items with Lot/SN. How you upload the beginning item QTY (inventory here) using configuration package? 

Any steps can help

    Hi, I think if there are no special cases, using Item Journal to import will be fine.

       

    If you have outstanding accounts payable, you can import them with Purchase Orders -> Warehouse Receipts -> Purchase Invoices.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    Thanks yzhums

    The challenge is in WMS looks like company need to use Warehouse Item Journal and cannot use Item Journal first. Maybe I am wrong here but I could not find a method to utilize Item Journal when Advanced WMS is on.

    Hence, I honestly got stuck here.

    Hi Mahgah,

    I suggest 1st upload stock with Warehouse Item Journal with Bin, Zone details and register it. you get stock in Bin. After it go to Item ledger entry and run Calculate Warehouse Adjustment. 

    With this you can upload you stock.

    Hope this will help.

    Many Thanks,
    Manan
