Topic: Adding Dimensions in Supplier invoice

It would be nice if one could have Dimensions that one can enter on the supplier invoice. It is not possible at the moment which results in the expense not allocated to the dimension.

The only work around is to create service item for each dimension and link the dimension there.

Re: Adding Dimensions in Supplier invoice

Did you mean create a service item in each such supplier invoice?

Re: Adding Dimensions in Supplier invoice

For stock items, the costs for the dimension is first taken during delivery (direct invoice).

So when you do your delivery (or direct invoice) the delivery will result in the stock is taken from inventory and placed on the costs account. If the dimension is chosen when creating the delivery (or direct invoice) the costs is also placed on the dimension.
This can be seen by looking at the gl transaction.
The sales part for the dimension is first taken when invoicing.

Re: Adding Dimensions in Supplier invoice

The problem is with the cost allocation when issuing the Direct Purchase invoice. You cannot allocate it to the cost of a specific project.

The only way to overcome this is to have a line item for each project on the service or items that you use to apply the cost to a dimension or project.

I understand that when you do an order or delivery, that it will not work, but there must be a way that these costs can be link to a dimension at some stage. Maybe when you pay the supplier, unless there is more than one dimension's items that you order from the same supplier.

One could then have different direct tax invoice, orders link to the specific project.
