Project Accounting PO Receipts & Inventory Transfers

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by DebN 3,954

When a PO is received for a project, why does the item cost not go directly to the project?  Why does an inventory transfer need to be created to get the cost to the project?  If the project info is on the PO and receipt, it seems like an extra step to have to do the transfer.  Is there any way to automate this?  Create a file containing the receipt data and import into a transfer transaction?

    RE: Project Accounting PO Receipts & Inventory Transfers

    Hello again Leslie,

    I have another PA PO question for you.  How do we reverse a PO receipt and inventory transfer that went to a project?  We did a Returns from Project transaction, which created the vendor credit but it didn't put the item back into inventory.  I'm assuming we then have to do a PA Inventory Transfer return type?  But, when I try that, I get "You are not allowed to return costs greater than the actual posted amount".  This is the exact same amount that went in.  Any ideas?  (I'm finding PA to be a big PAin!)

    Thank you!

    Deborah

    Hi Leslie,

    Yes, I have my own list of suggestions!  :)  Thank you for the tip about using drop-ship POs!

    Thanks,

    Hi Deborah,

    I agree with you that it should work a different way, but it does not. Don't get me started on my suggestions for the Project module. What you can do is create drop-ship POs. The item will go directly to the job and you will not need to create the transfer transaction.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie
