Hi,

here our needs:
we want to pay somebody to get our junk / scrap.

something like a negative sales (a sales with a negative amount) or a negative purchase order (a PO with a negative quantity).
it's not a return process, it's the scrap resulting from the production process.
and we don't track any production in BC. do we have to create production orders to support this?

In Business Central, as long as the total amount is not negative, you can post whether you have negative lines or not.

But this is not recommended. If you want to make negative sales/purchase, please use return order or credit memo.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

We have a similar situation where we sell our scrap from production. We create a sales invoice for that amount and code it directly to a g/l.

Hi,

I don't think that's possible. You'll need to perform an inventory adjustment and create either a PO or a Non-PO based invoice to hit the expense account (Scrap) and post it.

Other way to do it Output Journal but again that will do the inventory adjustment and then you create invoice for Scrap expenses.

Thanks

Ramesh
