Packing Slip Correction And Inventory Dimensions

We are having issues correcting a packing slip for a purchase order. Here is how the scenario goes:

- Purchase order is received. Inventory is received to the default receipt location, lets call it 'REC'. The items are batch controlled so the appropriate batch numbers are entered no the receipts.

- Inventory is then moved from the 'REC' location to the appropriate location in the warehouse.

- It is discovered that some of the inventory is damaged and the packing slip needs to be corrected. Someone goes into DAX and corrects the packing slip by decreasing the amount received. This decreases the amount in inventory.

The issue is that when the packing slip is corrected I am not seeing any place on the form where you can enter the location or batch number to decrease the inventory from. This causes it to just pick a location and batch number. It picks the 'REC' location because that is where the inventory was received to, and it picks one of the batch numbers that where entered when the inventory was received. However this creates a problem because the inventory is no longer at the 'REC' location, and it may choose the wrong batch number.

Is there a better way to correct a packing slip that will allow us to specify what location and batch number to take the inventory from?

Hi Eric,

The correction function is to correct any quantity when someone mistyped it.

If you receive goods which are e.g. damaged, you can also have a look at Non conformances from the quality management features.

Normally when the goods are received, you will have to check them. When you transfer it to another location, the goods can damage as well, so I would suggest to check before any transportation.

When goods are really damaged, you will contact the vendor and then decide what to do. Probably you will receive a credit note or will have to return the goods and they will be replaced.

If you have transferred the goods and find out some weeks later that the goods are damaged, the invoice can be posted already. In this case the correction function will not work as well.

So a return order would be a good solution. Then you can specify the inventory dimensions where to deduct from.
