International purchases
06/05/13 at 14:22:10
 
Hello
 
We always have the problem of when we purchase goods from overseas we need to receipt them in order to pay the invoice which is usually several months before we purchase the goods, but are still unaware of all the other costs such as freight and customs which effect the item price.
 
What do other companies do to when processing this initial invoice for the goods so that the supplier starts production?
 
Thanks

We have some material which we prepay.  We have two generic non-inventory part numbers:  prepayment and ppmtcr (prepayment credit).  When we pay the vender, we receive the prepayment line, then invoice that line (GL is prepaid inventory account).  Then when we receive the material, In EVO we receive both the item, showing the actual cost (debits Purchased inventory) and the ppmtcr at the same cost as the prepayment (credits the prepaid inventory GL).  Then do the purchase order invoice with the amount the same as any additional charges.  Select both lines and answer yes to apply the additional to freight or taxes or you have the option to do a price change if you want the added expense as part of the item cost.  So far this has worked very well for us.

We are working on a Vendor Prepayment program that will work similar to AR-N for customer deposits.
