Difference in Purchase Order/Receiving Report/Invoice

Ok, so I just walked through some things with my Purchaser, Inventory Clerk, and Production Manager. A couple issues that we have run into when going to unreceive a line:

  1. If the date of receipt is in a different month than you are currently in (i.e. received in December, it is now January 8th), Epicor will prevent you from unreceiving the line
  2. If the Inventory Clerk has already “kitted” a part (issued out to jobs), then you cannot unreceive because the quantity on the receipt does not match what is now in the system’s inventory

It is starting to feel as though there isn’t a whole lot that you can override in the system. It seems as though the best bet to unreceive a line, is to do so basically as soon as Inventory receives it. The issue is that I’m not seeing any difference in price until I receive the invoice, which could be up to a week or more after receipt.

Is there any other methods out there for this scenario, other than trying to unreceive and the PPV? By the way I really appreciate everyone’s responses!
