Purchase Order - Discount?

Posted on by ian2buckz 105

Hello,

We have a PO that was confirmed and sent to the vendor for 10x items at ~$900.

The delivery went awry and the vendor ended up comping us the entire order and said we will not receive an invoice.

We need these items to still go into the site's inventory without affecting the weighted avg. cost/FIFO calcs.

What is the best method to handle this?

    Hi ian2buckz,

    So, you got the items for free, want to include them in your inventory but do not want to affect your inventory value.

    Is that right?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Ludwig,

    We got them for free and want to include them into our inventory.

    We do not want to cause any issues with the weighted avg. cost of these items at that particular site. Furthermore, we would like these items to still generate usage once their counting journals indicate the product is gone.

    We just do not want to have a PO with a $ amt. assigned to it when there will not be an invoice for the PO from the vendor.

    Does this make sense?

    Hi,

    Have you considered option of using charges or discount feature such that vendor invoice amount is 0 but you receive inventory at actual cost?

    Hi ian2buckz,

    The problem is that any inventory transaction will have an influence on your weighted avg cost price. So, if you post the items with a $0 value, the average cost price will be reduced and adjustments be posted when you run inventory close.

    I don't see a way of adding those items without affecting your inventory value.

    A possiblity might be the use of stocked product that has no financial ledger integration so that you can at least track the quantities. Yet, this would require setting up a new item and I am not sure if this is what you are looking for.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
