Hi all,
At the moment, we send our purchase orders via Business Central (email) to our suppliers. Subsequently, we 'create a warehouse receipt' upon receiving the goods. In the purchase order, there is a column labeled 'completed received,' which transitions from 'no' to 'yes' once we have received everything. Upon receiving the invoice, we match the 'warehouse receipt' with the invoice. This is essentially how our purchase order process works.
For articles added to our item list, there is no issue.
However, there are instances when we need to order one-time items. For these, we prefer not to add the item to our item summary to avoid unnecessary length.
We attempted to create a non-inventory item, but as far as I know, it is not possible to generate a warehouse receipt for a purchase order containing non-inventory items.
We also explored creating a purchase order and booking it on the G/L account. The challenge with this approach is that the 'completed received' column remains on 'no' until we book the order. Yet, when we do book the order, the system will record it on the G/L account. Subsequently, when we book the invoice, the costs will be duplicated on the G/L account.
So we want to send purchase orders to our vendors for items that we don't want to include in our item summary. Can someone assist us with this? Thanks!
