    Hi etisag,

    For No 1:

    I don't know why you need to post and inventory movement journal to adjust your inventory. The inventory should automatically be adjusted by the Purchase/Sales Orders.

    For No 2:

    I don't understand this question.

    Can you elaborate?

    Many thanks,

    Ludwig

    Hi Etisaq,

    I guess you mean arrival journal not movement journal, where warehouse users can receive the products through Arrival journals not using the Product receipt functionality on the PO. And mainly for security reasons and segregation of duties, where warehouse users should not be able to view all data on purchases orders.

    Regards,
