Re: Invoice not updating ITH correctly.

Martin,

I have seen this happening with Post Ship transactions (base BPCS order
class 7). Here is a summary...

By design, a customer order that is defined as post ship means that the
customer already has the material and that you are billing it after the fact
(thus the name post ship).  This assumes (and here is where the problem is)
that your physical inventory is the same as BPCS inventory and that the
quantity shipped you have already checked and BPCS has that much inventory.
Yes, this is a stretch if you don't have accurate inventories, but it is the
process.

Let's take your example, if you were able to ship out 12,000 is because you
physically had this on stock.  So the post ship order was entered. The issue
comes if BPCS only had 3,704 in its inventory.  BPCS will issue the invoice
correctly (revenue and sales amounts will be correct), however, because it
only had 3,704 in inventory it will generate your cost of goods sold (COGS)
transaction to reflect that amount and not what was actually shipped.

I hope this helps.

Has anyone seen this problem.  ?

We have an invoice for 12000 quantity of an Item, but the B transaction on
ITH has a quantity of only 3704.
