I have created a miscellaneous shipment of an inventory item, "staged " it, and closed the pack id.
Everything under the “actions menu” is grayed out except for the Print. I have printed it.
How do I get the transaction to relieve inventory and post to the GL?
Misc. Shipment entry does not relieve inventory or create any GL Transactions. Its simply a reference that you shipped something and will show up on various trackers as misc. shipments based on whether it was shipping against a sales order, purchase order, etc. If you want to relieve inventory use Customer Shipment Entry
We were actually shipping back to a sub contractor, but were avoiding using the subcontractor shipment screen because it required a job #. The last thing we need is another job…
I thought subcontract shipment does no inventory or GL stuff either. It’s been a while.
I know it does a “Mfg-Ven” transaction in Part Transaction History, but that’s not like a real transaction. Mine have zero dollars on them, anyway. And the quantity doesn’t actually affect the OH, since it is all still in WIP.
I guess the easiest thing to do is set my supplier up as a “Customer” and do a Customer Shipment which will relieve inventory, and just do a “0” invoice.
We’ve created a PO to receive it back as a new part #.
