So, this is not going to seem intuitive, at least it sure doesn't to me, but it does work. You can actually do an Inventory Transfer Return via Project Accounting to bring the drop ship items that were originally purchased back into inventory. You just have to make sure that the cost that you bring them back into inventory is not at a higher cost than what you purchased them. The window defaults to the current cost, so make sure you check what the cost of the item was on the original receipt and then it should work just fine. Doesn't make sense, since GP never did a transfer of inventory and doesn't even see it as inventory, but for whatever reason, it works!
I am not aware of any way to do this with a drop ship before because the goods are never received. Does any one have an idea on how to accomplish this?
Hi Richard,
Thanks for the response! We just upgraded to GP2013. Unfortunately I don't think PO Return would work as it could be months following the receipt of said parts that I would need to remove them from the project and put them back into our inventory or return them to the vendor. Note...on the items we don't want to keep at the end of a project...once I've used the Project Inventory Transfer feature to remove the items from the project/cost category, resulting in them going back into our inventory, I do in fact use the Returns Transaction Entry window (Inventory option) to get them out of our inventory and then returned to the vendor. However I can only do that for parts ordered and received on a Standard PO...not a Drop Ship PO.
Do you know of any way to "return" a part that has been received against a Drop Ship PO back into our on hand inventory?
I mean...when I go to look up what purchase orders I've received a specific part against (using Inquiry...Inventory...Receipts)...the Drop Ship PO's aren't even listed
Thanks,
Jennifer
Would doing a PO return be of any use here? If you have not been invoiced by the vendor you can do a return with out credit and if you have been invoiced do a return with credit. What version of GP are you using? You need to be careful because a return implies the parts are going back to the vendor not back into stock. If you are on at least GP 2010 you an designate whether you anticipate receiving additional parts. You could re-receive these items but this time do not designate a project. There is also an inventory transfer module in PA you can use in the event you have an in-house project where all inventory resides when not assigned to a project.
