We are currently being audited for the end of our financial year (31/10/2024) and have a question about Invoicing.

We had a few POs that were placed prior to 31st October which we did not receive until after 1st November (placed before end of financial year and received in the following financial year).

As we were invoiced for this stock prior to receiving the stock, we're looking to post the invoices on the 29th / 30th October, however we are unsure as to how BC will treat the goods, as it will not have been received as of the invoice date.

I was wondering if Business Central will treat these Goods as Goods in Transit for the dates between the invoice date and the stock receipt date, and if so, once the goods are received, will the value of these goods automatically transfer from Goods in Transit to Stock.

    Hello,
     
    If you are invoiced before receiving the stock then you will need to post the invoice using Prepayment Invoice. You can't post as normal purchase invoice because you are required to receive first.
     
     
    On the second part where it will place under Goods in Transit when received and transfer to Stock upon invoice is what we called as 'Expected Cost Posting' in Business Central.
     
    This needs to be activated on 'Inventory Setup' first.

    The system doesn't allow posting an invoice prior to posting the receipt of goods. The receipt must always come first. If you need to post the invoice first, then you can post a prepayment invoice for the full amount of the PO. Once the goods are received, you would post the receipt, and the final invoice (which would be for $0 in this case).
