Immediate item consumption in Projects - AX 2012 R2

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Sandeep Chaudhury 3,303

Hello Everyone,

I learnt that items can now be consumed immediately in Projects(to update project expenses) when we receive the item(Post the product receipt packing slip), without having the need to use Item requirements functionality.

I Marked the "Item consumption check box under Project parameters form and then created and received a project purchase order. System does not seem to update the project expenses and items are not reflected in the project posted transactions.

Any suggestions here will be greatly appreciated.

    RE: Immediate item consumption in Projects - AX 2012 R2

    Hello Sandeep and Tom, 

    I am facing a similar problem here . Actually I don't want the items to be consumed immediately on the project . 

    In My scenario I want Item to be consumed with Item journal.

    And If i use these checks under project purchase order section of Parameter Form of Project Module I have noticed that Its creates Item Requirement and Sales Order against the items. 

     In My scenario I do not want these two documents to be created My company would charge customer with a consolidated cost one time to the client and that too, not based on Items instead with services offered inclusive of items.

    Is there a way i can block the deducted and sold transactions recorded against the PO receiving and Invoicing.

    I want the sold transaction logged only when item journal is posted against the project that too manual.

    Kindly suggest. Awaiting your response.

    Thanks

    Check the "Include physical value" check box on the Item Model group in the Inventory model\Cost price section.  AX does not set an inventory cost until the 1st PO is invoice vouchered (posted).  So the first time you purchase something AX, if you ship it before it is vouchered it has no inventory cost to use, therefore it uses 0 and produces no posting on the project or financial ledgers.  This settings will resolve this.  On a side note,  the physical value will also be calculated in the "Running" average cost if you are not using Standard or Moving Average costing.

    Hi Rajat.

    This is a very old post but I am wondering if you ever solved your issue? I am running into the same issue but only when I am using items with a model group 'non stock.' When I use stocked items the items will post at receipt of the item. It seems that you may have been using non stocked items too, as I have both parameters checked and also 'accrue at product receipt' in the item group selected. Were you able to solve this? Thanks.

    Yes, I'm seeing the same behaviour: both checkboxes selected, but no consumption happens

    Hi all,

    I would like to know if it is an appropiate behaviour in AX 2012 CU7 if the checkbox of "Create Ítem Requirement" is marked ,in Project and Accounting parameters, when you create an Ítem requirement the purchase order button is disable. Could you please explain the uses of "Create ítem requirement" and "Ítem consumption"

    Thanks

    Tom, I have checked the same as per your suggestion by clicking both the fields in Project Accounting parameters i.e.

    Create Item Requirements

    Item Consumption.

    Butr still the system i.e. AX 2012 R2 do not post the cost towards the Project ID used in the Purchase Order at the time of updating the Product Receipt.

    It getting updated only when I am posting the Vendor Invoice.

    Kindly simulate the same in your sytem which should be AX 2012 R2 and then check the results and suggest me accordingly.......hopingly I am not missing any other setup or configuration.

    Waiting for your quick response

    You'll need to flag "Create Item Requirement" - this will create the item requirement behind the scenes in association with your Project PO.  Once you receive the PO you'll still receive the prompt asking you if you want to consume to the project.  If you want to suppress this receiving message you would flag the other parameter "Item Consumption" which would then automatically consume the goods to the project.
