Recording Sales Invoice for items (with serial Number Tracking) , Yet they are not received yet

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Ahmad_Safadi 373

Dears

I have a question about selling items to customers before being purchased.

Our clients place big orders for items (these items have serial number tracking). We place the orders, invoice the clients .. and set a delivery date. Then, we order these items from our vendors.

My question is, how can I link these sales orders with the purchase order / shipments ? Considering the fact that sales invoices should be posted first , and yet the serial number are not received ?

What is the proper solution to automate this case ?

Thanks in Advance,

    May be you can receive the stock in Intransit location  and from there you can make sales invoices

    This means you need to receive stock in Intransit location

    I highly appreciate your answer, which is logical

    Is there any way to modify the sales invoices item serials after posting ?

    Just thinking about a work around solution, it might be possible to activate the serial tracking on the sales invoices only, and allow negative stock. Which means I can sell items in minus, and assign serial numbers to them regardless of the fact that the original PO Shipment is received or not, am I right ?

    I dont think so that without inventory and serial no you can invoice the material to customer.

    Either you can generate serial no and receive the material before physical arrives to your warehouse but in such cases the mismatch of inventory may happen because of faulty or damaged material.

    Hi A. Saf ,

    Got your point , when you have items with tracking , think your serial numbers mapwith item tracking lines

    so..

    you cannot sell those item(because you have specific item tracking lines ) by sales order before receive those to your location

    But remember you don't need to wait until its invoiced

    you can mark the purchase order by "Receive" and IN your items to your location/inventory

    Invoice can be done by later
