Hello,
There are two options for Purchase orders...Drop Ship and Standard. I like using the Standard option because it allows more "checks and balances" and the opportunity to catch part# or quantity errors since you physically have to receive in each item in the Receiving Transaction process. However...on the PO itself each part we order is assigned to a Cost Category within a Project Number both of which are specified on each PO line, but when they are received into GP they go to our "on hand inventory" first and then we have to make a manual transfer using Transactions...Project...Inventory Transfer in order for the cost of each parts to hit that Cost Category within the Project. This can be very tedious and time consuming especially when you have packing slips with 25 or more items. Is there a setting that will allow the cost of each part to automatically transfer to the Cost Category it's assigned to?? This happens using a Drop Ship PO...but unfortunately that transaction seems to be permanent...in that once that part hits the project, you're no longer able to remove it. We often have parts left over at the end of our project (we build control cabinets) and I need the flexibility of taking those parts/costs out of the project and putting them back in our on hand inventory for use later on a future build.
I guess I'm looking for a blend of having the automatic transfer of parts/costs seen in Drop Ship PO's when received but with the flexibility of transferring those actual parts/cost back into our Inventory should we not use them.
Please help!!
Thank you,
Jennifer
