Manage inventory for customer

Posted on by Community Member

We are a distributor of parts.  One customer wants to purchase 500 items of inventory at a time, paying in advance, and then direct us where and when to ship what they have just purchased over the next several weeks before doing the transaction again.

Any best practices or tips for how best to track this in GP10?  Will need to be able to report on customer's inventory separately from our own.

    Hi,

    If I understand this correctly, you sold the inventory and will be drop shipping it according to your customer's instructions.  You need to track it, but it should not be on your books be sues it is no longer your property.

    I have had clients handle this a couple of ways. The easiest was to create a warehouse for that customer, put the inventory in at zero cost and manage the distributions from there. How to do it will also depend on what information your customer wants from you.

    Please let us know more details so we can give you more options. There are a lot of distribution folks on the forum who can help.

    Thank you for the response.  One of the complications is that we will use their inventory and some of our own to assemble a final product.  Would I be able to assemble a Bill of Material using two different warehouses on the same BOM?

    Hmm, good point.

    The assembly transaction makes you pick one warehouse from which to satisfy it.

    You could transfer your inventory into the 'customer' warehouse and run the assembly from there.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie
