Re: INVOICE FROM PRODUCTION

we had a similar situation and we did it outside of BPCS. we produced units for 
the customer and we 'shipped' them and billed them as soon as they were made. 
we physically moved the units to a 'bonded' or customer warehouse where 
everything in this warehouse belongs to the customer. this warehouse and the 
inventory inside it does not reside on the BPCS system. the products are easy 
to inventory and we give the customer a physical inventory of the units in his 
warehouse each week. the customer sends us shipping details as to how many 
units to ship to what address. we pull them from his warehouse and ship them. 
when we ship them we use the customer's UPS account number so that we don't 
have to get involved in freight charges. again, all of this is beyond the scope 
of our BPCS manufacturing system. for us it works as there is only one customer 
and only a couple of products in the customer warehouse.

We are on Version 6.01.01 Mixed Mode:

    I would like to know if anyone has done or has the same request from
a  vendor.  We have a contract vendor who wants to be invoiced at the
time the product is produced and then have us store and ship the
finished/good product latter to different locations when needed.

Question:
    1. How do we invoice & post to A/R at the end of production.
    2. Store in inventory by lot-# at no value in a "Q" status to be
checked and
        released before shipping
    3. Pick, pick confirm, and ship confirm & know releive inventory
without
        creating a invoice.
