I think this may be an obvious answer that I’m missing.  

 

We want to start using Purchase Parts only (no Inventory Part record) to buy packaging material.  Previously we have set up Inventory Parts, received these into stock and then immediately adjusting off stock which is a bit of a waste of effort.  The initial reason for using Inventory Parts rather than just non-stock is so we can handle the different pricing/MOQs etc - plus saves the Buyer having to type in the descriptions and pre-posting on each order.

 

We've investigated setting up Purchase Groups against Purchase Parts to drive the postings into a particular Acc/CC/Code Part D. All works fine/as expected.  

 

The challenge now is that having set up M92 and M93 to be driven off C31 Purchase Group our ‘normal’ non-stock PO Lines error because they are manually pre-posted - and we need to retain this as the Code Part C and D particularly will be specific - not necessarily Site or Supplier, for example.

Does anyone have any suggestions how we might set up this Posting Control or process where the rule is effectively “Use Purchase Group except where manual pre-posting exists?” (or vice versa!).

Many thanks!

​@PRODQ have you tried setting the Overide to Allowed? I never tried this myself, but from the Field Description it might do exactly what you’re asking for.

 

So far, so good on testing the normal ‘non-stock’, ​@Marcel.Ausan, does exactly what’s required.  Just need to prove it on a few example “Outside Operation” parts… 🤞

 

Thanks for the feedback.

Ah, sadly, we came unstuck when matching an already existing (received 18.7) “normal” non-stock receipt to Supplier Invoice this morning despite the fact we had overwrite allowed in the Posting Control.  

 

 

 

I’m wondering if we probably need to have all existing NS receipts matched; book nothing new in and THEN set the new PC up so all receipts from ‘x’ date onwards are booked in with the new PC settings so will correctly match…

 

I may need to bring in some Finance consulting cavalry to assist.
