if purchase order with job no which generated by order planning (original demand from ), when i directly post receipt on purchase order , checked posted result, i found there are two entries generated in item ledger entry, one is purchase receipt with positive quantity , one is negative adjustment with negative quantity ,  total inventory is equal 0; and nothing posted in job ledger entry. do you know why like this? what is logic about purchase order with job no?

    hi kim,

    thanks for your reply.

    job no is automatically set in purchase order after i ran order planning for job demand. not i manual input here.

    Because you put the job number on the PO, the system does not want the quantity left in inventory to be otherwise used which is why you get the negative inventory entry...

    hi S.Kawamura,

    thanks for your reply, your question is my question; i am confused with system logic about automatically posted negative adjustment when posted purchase receipt, i think should first increase warehouse inventory then consume it by job journal by need.

    hi Kim,

    you are right. once posted purchase invoice, will automatically generate job ledger entry;

    but i really confused question is why posted receipt for purchase order with job no, system will automatically generate a negative adjustment?  in actual case, all of goods will not directly into customer site. not drop shipment; those goods need increase warehouse inventory. then pick up it by job journal by job need.

    Hi,

    Kim's answer is correct. But DZ's question is also valid.

    As Kim mentioned, the actual cost will be posted to the job ledger after INVOICE posting is executed fot the purchase order.

    The reason why a Negative Adjustment record is created in the Item Ledger when a purchase order with a job number associated is posted, is because the job consumes this item at the time it is posted.

    What happens if a purchase order is posted only RECEIVE for item without a job number, increase the inventory, and then consume the item using Job Jjournal?

    A Negative Adjustment record is created in the Item Ledger when an item is consumed from the Job Journal Ledger, and at the same time, an Actual Cost record is created in the Job Ledger.

    This is true, but I cannot give a consistent explanation.

    If I'm not mistaken, you will not see the job ledger entry until the Purchase Invoice is posted. This is the only method to ensure that you get the correct dollars onto the job.
