Item posting without inventory update

andy58

Hi,
My client wants to make a pre-payment OR another words:
he wants to post item in the PurchaseOrder , but inventory and costing should not be updated (INVOICE without RECIEVE).

Greatly appreciate any ideas

Hmmm... it will be VERY hard to do that. May be some add-on exists for that?

Just some wild idea:
Create a NEW purchase invoice in which you do the payment using some G/L Account.
In your real purchase order, put an extra line using some G/L Account with a negative amount (the amount you already payed).

Before you make any modifications, please understand the impact when you do a modification like this.

Any pre-payments to your vendor should sit under the asset side (prepaid account) on your balance sheet until you receive the products/services from your vendor.

When you do this, your A/P will not reflect what your vendor owes you since the prepayment is applied to a fictitous document.

My suggestion would be to have your client cut a check that does not apply to any documents and enter the external document number of what that check is for. Have your balancing account point to your prepaid account. When the real vendor invoice gets here, pay it using the prepaid account.

This will be a lot easier than doing hardcore modifications on base Navision.
