Title: on-hand quantities--again
Post by amber on 06/11/03 at 11:02:55

I asked the wrong question before, because we aren't utilizing the WO yet. We issue sales orders and then post an invoice to close the sales orders. But the items are still showing on-hand. Is there a default somewhere or what are we doing wrong?

Also, we would like to use Work Orders but we don't have BOM's for everything, because we sell some components by themselves. Do we have to have BOM's for everything in order to use work orders or can we interchangeably use Sales Orders and Work Orders?

Sorry so much at once!

Work Orders are used to consume raw materials and make finished goods. Sales Orders and Invoices are used to ship items to customers.

If you are selling a component by itself, you would use only the Sales Order and process the invoice. Posting the invoice will take the item out of stock and reduce the on-hand quantity of that item, there is nothing else you need to do.

If you are selling an assembly that has a BOM, posting an invoice will ship the assembly to the customer and reduce the on-hand quantity of the assembly but you need to first use a work order to consume the components and then put the assembly into stock. The invoice will not do anything with the components.
