Purchase Process and Consignments

apickard

Hi,
a client of ours tackles the purchase process as follows:
Step1: Creating multiple purchase PO's while ordering goods
Step2: Receiving a proforma Invoice from supplier (can be a combination of several PO's). This Invoice needs to be created on the system and linked to the corresponding Purchase Orders.
Step3: A consignment document (including several charges) needs to be created on the system and linked to the Proforma Invoice (or multiple Invoices).
Step4: On receiving of goods, only one Receipt to be automatically populated (based on the consignment document) - Linked Invoices at this stage should also be posted automatically.

Taking the above scenario, how can this process be mapped to Nav V5.0 taking into consideration that the standard flow within Nav is PO -> Receipt -> Invoice. I also checked WH receipts but once again its limitations are that it still create multiple Purchase Receipts and Charges can only be linked to Purchase Receipts not Invoices.

Your input will be most appreciated. [-o<
Thanks a lot

Hi,
any ideas so far? I've been thinking about solutions but thse require heavy customisations, so I was wondering if there any other simpler ideas. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated

Yes, you will need to do some modifications in order to do this.

What we did for our customer is to create a simple receiving screen that has all of the outstanding POs for the vendor. When the user receives the proforma invoice, they would enter either the BOL or the Proforma invoice number to the receipt.

When the item charge is assigned, they would then link it using the BOL number or the Proforma invoice number.

What we did was crude and rude, but it works beautifully. I think I sent the objects to anther user on Mibuso. Let me know if this is what you need, if so I can just put it up for download.

Well, before you give your thanks, is what I described what you need? The code is very ugly and I'm very embarrassed to put it up if it's not what you need.

apickard

Yes, it's what I need - re code don't worry if it's sooo ugly I believe it will still help me to have a better understanding of what needs to be done, so don't worry - just post it

My thanks was not just for this situation, it was a general thanks since I find this site very helpful and appreciate the effort it takes to keep such forum up to date.

You do not need this mod anymore with the introduction of warehouse receipts. You can group a bunch of POs in one warehouse receipt and receive it that way.
