Non-nettable is great for isolating parts and quantities, but does not
address this issue.
Programming logic changed vastly on this issue between versions 3 and 4,
and, as you have already surmised, newer is not always better.
Thanks for the thought though.

What is causing the inventory adjustments? What if you were using a non
nettable bin would that make a difference? We are on 3.00.632 but I thought
that was part of the logic for giving us those types of bins. HTH.

You are right. It doesn't make accounting happy. In version 3, we were
able to do just as you tested, but there were no inventory adjustments.
Worked Fantastic!!! Everyone was happy. Now in version 4, I (as accounting)
have to make reversing entries at month end in order to accomplish what we
had been able to do so easily with no workarounds in version 3 in order to
have a history of purchases and vendors, etc. This method is clumsy,
reports are unnecessarily long and inaccurate, but it saves purchasing huge
numbers of keystrokes and keeps better purchasing histroy.
Is it time yet to start gathering suggestions for the next upgrade?

Subject: [Vantage] Expense Item Purchasing in Vantage
We would like to buy expense items with Vantage. It can be done by
putting the items in "on the fly" each time, and the costs are sent
to the proper accounts. However, I would like the tracking and
consistency of ordering that would come from having these items in
the part master.
When I tested this, I entered the part at standard cost with a cost
of zero. However, when I bought and received the item, the cost
first went to the expense account and then was transferred to
inventory adjustments. This won't make accounting happy.
Is anybody else using part master for expense items? How do you do
it? We are on 4.00.904. Thanks for the help.
