Newbie Question about Inventory/Recieving

mstallmann

In my customers manufacturing process, they sometimes recieve items from thier customer to include in the part they are building for them. These items are on the BOM for the finished good as well. They also recieve samples from the customer that are used in testing the finished good. I have looked into Navision, and it seems that the best way would be to use the item journal to adjust inventory levels on physical reciept of the goods from the customer. However, I would like to see if there is another way that will track this process better.

Any suggestions??

Thanks in Advance,
Mike
P.S. (I don't want to double enter the customer as a vendor, and create purchase orders...)

Mike, why do you not just issue a credit memo to the customer for the goods you receive from them?
The credit memo will not relate to any shiped or invoiced goods, but it will be just a credit on the goods you will invoice back to them when you ship it back.
Ensure that you keep the costing the same for the receive and send or keep in mind what ever the agreement is between the 2 parties.

Also, what VAT is involved on this transaction, but also input adjsutments and output vat classifications can track this for you.

Should be easy to handle this.
