    Hi Paulson,

    Yes you can issue the inventory before updating the invoice. The item being received through your product receipt would be part of your physical inventory. The issuance depends upon your document through which you are posting the issuance inventory. There are separate documents for physical issuance i.e. Sale order packing slip, picking list for production, & there are separate documents for financial issuance i.e. Sale order invoice, production order end.

    In a scenario, you received an item for 5$ your inventory & the account for posting type Cost of purchased materials received is debit for the same value. You created a packing slip for Sale orders. The inventory in the module & the physical account for sale order posting would also be credit for 5$. The posting type of sale order packing slip is Cost of units, delivered.

    So in actually if you see the net result of both accounts of physical inventory it would be nullified and zero. Other factor also come into consideration but this is the most simple way you can understand.

    Whenever the Financial inventory is updated, i.e. Purchase order invoice, Sale order invoice, these physical accounts are reversed and actual financial inventory accounts are updated.

    Please mark YES against the answer if it helps you.

    Warm Regards,

    Zain

    can i issue an item before updating invoice ? because the inventory account is updating only after updating the invoice,so if i issue before that inventory will goes to credit balance in that way how can i make justification for the credit balance

    Hello,

    Do you mean if issue the item before invoicing PO and how to handle the inventory balance?

    In general, the main account of the posting type of "Cost of purchased materials received" and "Cost of purchased materials invoiced" are same. That makes sure the inventory will not have a credit balance.

    If they are not same, when you invoice it, the inventory credit balance will be reduced. And when you close/recalculate the item, the correct inventory will be recalculated.

    So, you can issue an item before updating invoice.

    Hello Paulson Mathew,

    The inventory is actually updated at the time the packing slip is posted, which is before the invoice posting. What doubts / concerns do you have here exactly?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi, 

    I used an item with a similar setup and posted a product receipt and the invoice. 

    Please have a look at the following posting types that are used for the product receipt and the invoice voucher for the purchase of an item with a price of $5000. 

    product receipt:

    invoice:

    Does that answer your question?

    Best regards,

    Hello Paulson Mathew,

    The journal entries that are created depend on many things including the item model group linked to your product, whether the item is stocked or not, whether you use standard costing or a current costing method, etc.

    The easiest way to see the voucher created is possibly posting a test transaction in a demo/dev environment with your specific item and setup configuration.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
