POD

Hi Gurus,

we are using pod to manually adjust delivered qty (10) vs actual qty received by customers (8). client loves the idea, however, how can we account the returned item (10-8=2) in our inventory? confirming the delivery, doesnt create a movement type that will transfer the returned item to unres.

regards,

paul

Dear John,

I am facing a similar issue can you elaborate how you are accounting for the diff in MM.

hello.

if quantity 10 was posted for goods issue and delivered to the customer, but the latter only confirms 8, then you bill the client for only 8. in standard, i think it is implied that the balance of 2 is a "float" which you could charge to the forwarder or which you absorb. i do not think the POD considers that the quantity 2 as a return resulting from rejection by the customer, nor is there an automatic goods movement inward.

you do not process a separate returns transaction for the customer, as this will result in a credit of 2 units, which should not be the case. a work around is to process the 2 as an inbound movement. care should be taken as inventory valuation is affected here.

however, if you wish to reflect the 2 units as returns, then i do not recommend POD. instead, have the customer receive 10, and process the 2 as returns.

regards.

Hello Paul

Jonathan is right. For POD to work, you define Reasons for deviation ( things like lost in transit, Evaporated during transit, stolen etc.

thank you for the insight. you are correct, there is no movement type after pod. and it is a float. i was trying to look for a solution that will not involve separate transaction to post the returns (difference in pod). but i guess, i might end up in transacting it in mm instead to receive returned items.

thanks!
