Hi Seenu,

Some companies prefer to use movement journals to transfer their inventory when they start using AX. Basically using a movement journal does the same that a counting or inventory adjustment journal does. Yet, all the other Journals refer to the inventory posting setup in order to specify the offset account while the movement journal allows you specifying for example a separate 'inventory transfer' journal that you can use for reconciling with your old system.

Another way how I often see the movement Journals used is in cases where external warehouse systems are connected to AX and where the finance accountants want to differentiate those transactions from other ones by using different ledger accounts.

Hope this answers your question.

Best regards,

Ludwig

With an Adjustment journal, the user cannot determine which account the value of the adjustment is posted to. It will use the Inventory loss/profit account defined for the Item/Item group.

With a Movement journal, the user has control where to post the value. Taking something out of inventory for a trade show? Post it to the Marketing account, for example.

Hello,

Is there a report that will show all items that were "moved" to a specific ledger account? We pull items from general inventory to be shipped as a sample for new customers. So far, I am only able to run a ledger transaction report that will show the total per journal transaction, but I need item level detail. This wasn't something the company requested in the past, they were only worried about the total amount spent on samples, now they want to see exactly which items. I've been Googling and cant figure it out - not sure if I am describing the issue properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi maybeebella,

Can you create a new thread and provide some additional details - probably a simplified example - what you are looking for.

Many thanks and best regards

Ludwig
