If I have a customer in location A, and stock is not available in location A. Stock is being shipped directly to customer from Location B without routing through warehouse in Location A.

How to handle this situation so that invoice appears in the sales of location A and stock hits in location B.

Thanks in anticipation

I was hoping to identify the exact aspect of the problem you were struggling with.

On the sales order it is possible to select the location that you are selling from, it is possible to mix the locations on one order.

You can change distributions on a line by line basis or use order types or user defined fields or sales persons (don't have to be actual people) to "tag" the order for later reporting.

Weekly/monthly journals to sort out the accounting for sales as required.

This might be worth working through with a GP partner if you are an end user to see what is best.

Dear Tim

Thank you very much.

Scenario is simple. I am shipping from location A directly to customer in location B. It is sale of location B but inventory is going out of location A.

My ultimate objective is that I want to out stock from location A, but at the same time want to invoice from location B.

If I transfer stock first to location B and then make invoice it's simple but stock is not being actually transferred to warehouse B.

I would like to know the concern where the root of the question lies and there are different approaches depending on the aim.

Not sure if you are more concerned with the general ledger being posted correctly or the inventory decreasing the wrong location or the invoice displaying location B. In this situation, can you record an inventory transfer from B to location A prior to invoicing? Then when you sale (invoice) from location A, it will decrease inventory correctly from location A, appear on the invoice from location A and show the sales and COGS in the general ledger for location A.
