Undo shipment and receipt (Dropship)

Jonon

Has anybody tried to do a modification that would allow for the undo shipment and undo receipt to work for a drop shipment. Currently I have a client who does quite a few drop-shipments and the only work around is to create the invoice then credit and recreate the order.

Any help would be great

I haven't done it, but I would say it's a faily simple modification.
You would Modify CU 5815 Undo Sales Shipment line to not test for drop shipment, and change to code to find the Purchase receipt line and undo shipment on purchase Receipt line.

You would have to undo the associated posted shipment and all associated entries throughout the drop shipment, not just the receipt.

Well... is not that "simple" as they put it:
if the item ledger entry created with the purchase receipt was depleted by the shipment (the quantity was taken away), when you undo the shipment a new entry to get the item will be created (but the original will still have remaining qty. < original quantity). Since the entry is not having the quantity, the standard undo receipt will not work.

I think the best way to resolve this is to send a suggestion to Microsoft on future releases. Modifying anything to do with costing and how costing is applied raises serious red flags.

I think inventory costing in Navision since 5.0 ignores drop shipment entries.

Doesn't it use applies-to entry no.? Once the items are shipped and automatically received, doesn't it apply to each other?

yes they are applied, I read in the costing document for 5.0 that drop shipment entries were ignored. I'm thinking on average costing right now.
I have to look at it again.
