Receiving goods and getting paid for it...

chess69

Hi,
I got a customer (still on Navision 4) who has the following problem.
He "buys" goods and gets paid for it.
The goods have to be received wit lot tracking.
What he wants do to is create an purchase invoice, then receive the goods (wit lot tracking) and post the document. However Navision doesn't allow a negative amount on the purchase invoice, but that's what he needs because the invoice will be paid by the vendor.


Currently he post purchase invoices with value 0 and makes creditmemos, but this is not what he wants.

Any ideas?

You could use a Sales Order, with negative Quantity, and Positive Amount. This way you would still be receiving the item, and being able to bill the customer for it.

If you still want to use PO, then you would have to customise this. Just run the debugger and disable the code that triggers the error message on "Amount must be negative...".

adjusting the PO is something we're thinking about.
But the idea of using a sales order with negative quantities is intresting...thx for the reply.
