Topic: Inventory not changing..

Probably simple but for the life of me I don't get it. Set up business as retailer and when I invoice and pay invoice the stock doesnt move...

so when I am inputting in invoices stock goes up

but stock doesn't go down on receipt of invioce and no cost of sales.

hmm any ideas?

Re: Inventory not changing..

I only have one item it is set up:

Category:

Systems Services Consulting Butchery

Item Type:

ManufacturedManufactured Purchased Service

Sales Account: SALES
Inventory Account: STOCK
C.O.G.S. Account: COST OF GOODS
Inventory Adjustments Account: Bank
Item Assembly Costs Account: Bank

Re: Inventory not changing..

Hello,

Your two last accounts should NOT be a bank account, but a cost (expense) account.

Re: Inventory not changing..

Hey Joe,

So when invoicing the front accounting will take the place you have set up as inventory adjustment?

therefore if I made it the STOCK account, it would move it from stock to COST OF SALE?

If this was true, wouldn't the bank be wrong and the COGS be correct?

Re: Inventory not changing..

The Item Adjustment Account could f.i. Be an account called 5040 Purchase Price Variance, but you can also use another expense (COGS) account.

The Item Assembly Cost Account could be a stock account, 1530 Stock of Work in Progress.

You should set these accounts as default in System and General GL Setup and in Item Categories to avoid confusing when creating new Items.

Re: Inventory not changing..

ok I tried having it as STOCK and COGS and did a dummy invoice and stil the stock doesn't go down and COGS doesn't go up


I don't have to "DELIVER" the goods do i?

Re: Inventory not changing..

did you use Direct invoice feature? Some time people are mixing sale order with invoices and delivery. normally the sale cycle is as follow
1) Quotation -- NO impact on stock
2) Sale order -- No impact on Stock
3) Sale Delivery-- here is stock is reduce
4) Sale invoice -- its depend upon inventory configuration, normally no impact on stock
5) Payment of Sale invoice
6) Allocation of that pavement to invoice

Re: Inventory not changing..

yes this is what I looked at on the demo site. I coded out (hid) the sales quote and delivery as its not needed... I mean if someone orders, you invoice and then deliver at the same time.

so I don't touch sale order and delivery


hmm so I either need to set up sales orders and deliveries (which I just tested and the GL showed no movements)

or I need to ensure Sale Invoices does it for me


hmm confusing. Front Accounting is much nicer for service smile

Re: Inventory not changing..

If you want to skip delivery then you should test direct invoices feature, it auto generate delivery and sale order just for completion of normal sale cycle.

Re: Inventory not changing..

I thought I was doing a direct invoice... hmm

Re: Inventory not changing..

Just double checked, it is a direct sales invoice

/sales/sales_order_entry.php?NewInvoice=0

Re: Inventory not changing..

there is no outstanding sales orders to be delivered

/sales/inquiry/sales_orders_view.php?OutstandingOnly=1

Re: Inventory not changing..

when I do a direct invoice on your demo site, this is what I see journal wise, it's just sales and receivables no stock or COGS?

Re: Inventory not changing..

direct sales delivery on the other hand does COGS and stock... my gosh what am I doing wrong!

Re: Inventory not changing..

hmm and when I do it it says no journal has been created....

Re: Inventory not changing..

you have got to be kidding me.... it wasn't working because stock was at 0...

Re: Inventory not changing..

Can you send me your sql file so that I can check?

Re: Inventory not changing..

no seriously, once there was "stock" then when it sells it does the journal. Must have a IF THIS = 0 THEN NOTHING statement somewhere.

I put the stock all in via journal and not stock lol
