Posting adjustment charge on purchase order invoice

Posted on by gfadden400

I'm using this technet article: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa551276.aspx to add an adjustment to a vendor invoice on a purchase order. After going through the steps outlined, nothing appears to happen? The invoice amount is not adjusted down and no postings seem to take place...at least not that I can find.

RE: Posting adjustment charge on purchase order invoice

Hi Gfadden400,

Identifying the additional posting created can be a bit difficult.

What AX won't do - and that is correct in my opinion - is adjusting the original purchase order invoice voucher recorded as you received and posted already the invoice from your vendor. Otherwise, your vendor invoices wouldn't match the transactions in AX.

Yet, what AX should do is adjusting the inventory value of your items.

You can identify the adjustment posted in your item transactions in the "adjustment" amount field.

AX does, however, only show this adjustment amount if you use a current inventory valuation method such as FIFO, LIFO, etc.

If you use a standard cost valuation model, you won't see the adjustment posted directly in your item transactions as AX uses the deviation cost accounts.

A good starting point to search is the voucher transaction for in GL.

Try identifying your transaction and view the voucher and the transaction origin.

Hope it helps,

Ludwig

RE: Posting adjustment charge on purchase order invoice

Hi Ludwig,

I have landed up in the scenario mentioned on thread.

"After posting purchase invoice, as part of month end process, my customer will update/adjust purchase invoice transactions using Charges adjustment"

They use the valuation method as "Weighted average by date"

Post the charges adjustment, then they run the inventory close.

As expected, the adjustment does appear on the "Adjustment" field for respective purchase invoice. However, it is not washing out against the issue transactions and always leave some amount pending to wash ?

Now, coming to dimension groups, they have Site and warehouse who have "financial inventory" checked, but not for Batch dimension which is only checked for "physical inventory".

In addition, we also noticed that this case is more evident in case of Direct Delivery scenarios. As a result, when we run the inventory reports, for those specific SKU's, AX reports some value, where Qty is actually "0"

Note: I suggested my customer to enable the financial inventory check on "Batch" dimension. However, their business process does not require this and reluctant to enable that during the year to not open another pandora box with that.

Can you throw some light on how to arrest this issue?

Regards,

Sree
