We manufacture demo units on a project. The unit might have the same part number as a normal production unit. The project pays for the manufacturing of the unit, but thereafter the unit is a company ‘asset’ in inventory as a ‘0’ value item to be shipped.

When we issue the unit to the project, the project carries the cost, but the unit is not in inventory to ship anymore. 

Except for a manual voucher, is there any way we can charge the project for the cost, and then make the item value 0. 

Kind regards

Gerbie

Is this in the same company or is the demo unit produced in a separate legal entity?

You can make it a Rental part and charge the project costs for the time it “Rents” the part.
