We are using Dynamics GP2016 R2.
We use the Manufacturing module.
We run MRP nightly.
Our items are all FIFO Valuation Method.
We do use multiple Bins, but only one Site for our active inventory.
We use multi-level BOM configurations for all of our components. This includes MFG and Phantom BOMs.
We do not use Standard Costing.
We are wanting to implement the QA processing in GP, but there are issues with the FIFO layer values and using original item receipts for items that may need to be returned to the Supplier/Vendor.
The issue with the FIFO layer valuation is moving the items to a separate Bin and the quantity type after receipt, while the QA process is being completed. This process was looking to be done so that the MRP demand is not impacted since we've actually received the item in house. How can this be processed in this manner without messing up the FIFO item values? How does the multi-bin impact the FIFO layer values, say if we have 5 different Bins that items are being pulled from? Should there maybe be a separate Bin for after the items have passed QA inspection?
The other issue is that sometimes we don't get the credits from Suppliers, of returned items/goods, before we've already paid them for that PO and we're unable to process the Return Transaction with Credit as the Receipt is not available anymore. This is causing issues with our AP and PPV Accounting. Is there a way to mitigate this issue?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
