Invoicing without shipping

nostran

hi,

i was wondering whether i could get any suggestions from you guys about how to do the following:

A sales order for 10 item A was raised. I need to invoice the sales order for the 10 items without actually delivering the items.

it is essential that the sale order be invoiced, so that the vat return can be filled etc...

i know that customisation would be needed. but what i want to know is whether there any means of minimising the customisation i.e. not turning everything upside down in navision.

:P thanks

Why not use Sales Invoice instead of a Sales Order?

because when you post the invoice, it is still going to ship the items even if its being done in the background

i need the "items sold" to be accounted in my stock until i despatched them later

Perhaps we were not completely following what you are trying to achieve :-k

I think you will need to make a direct invoice using a G/L Account instead of an item. And just change the description to the item description.

maybe...

... which is exactly what we did several times. You just have to take care of some other things later, like creating a "correction" for invoiced Amount to GL acc and posting "real" invoice for items (ship&invoice) to have correct sales values on entries.
remember to check if your country laws allow you to "simulate" such invoices.
