Re: Inventory in uncontrolled warehouse

Would reporting the items shipped, but not invoicing the order help?

[MAPICS-L] Inventory in uncontrolled warehouse






Hello group,
I have an interesting issue that for business reasons should not exist
but does anyway. 
We have orders from customers who are unable to pay (yet) and we build
those items and take to shipping.  The due date has come and gone and
the items cannot ship because of non-payment.  Finished goods are
showing in inventory (we are uncontrolled warehouse), we are not allowed
to ship to other customers because what if this one can pay today.  How
can we get these items to not show in inventory so that the planners
(after they forget it's in shipping) don't promise it to someone else?
We've discussed "IS" to special account to get it out of inventory so
the planners don't see it, but then how do the accounting folks see it
for inventory purposes?
We are at Rel 6 with Essentials only.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can help the inventory people handle
this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Teresa Biby
