Value addition to an inventory Item

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community member
Hello,
Our platform is Dynamics AX 2012 R3.
We purchase  item  X from vendor and then this item is sent to another vendor for print job.
How can we add printing charges to the cost of item X without inventory adjustment and production order?
Later we also need to track in our inventory system that how many items are printed and how many are not.
 
Please help on this process.
 
Thanks

    Hi,
     
    If you need to track inventory, you can consider creating two products or have an item with the Configuration product dimension enabled. You can then manage the process in several different ways. You can have a negative purchase order line "consuming" the items without print and a second line for receiving the printed items. You can also consider using inventory journals.

    Hi,

    You can add printing charges to the cost of item X without using inventory adjustments or production orders by using the Vendor invoice functionality. Here's how you can achieve this process:

    1. Create a purchase order for item X from the first vendor.
    2. Receive the item X into inventory upon its arrival from the first vendor.
    3. Create a vendor invoice for the item X, adding the printing charges as a separate line item on the invoice.
    4. Post the vendor invoice to update the cost of item X with the printing charges.
    5. The inventory valuation will reflect the updated cost of item X, including the printing charges.

    To track the number of items that have been printed and the number of items that have not been printed, you can use a customization or extension in Dynamics AX 2012. You can create a custom field or attribute on the item X to capture this information. Then, whenever you receive the finished printed products from the second vendor, you can update the custom field accordingly.

    Best regards,
    Kevin
