Add remove in Delivery Note

[zubair_khan5]

Hi, All

My client is a computer retailer, they are maintaining there inventory each laptop of computers as a finshied good. Some time their clients ask for their own configuration as compare to factory configuration. For example if a lap top comes with 100 GB hard disk and customer wants to have 200 GB HD, then customer demands to remove 100 gb from laptop and add 200 gb hard disk.

Now the point is that as a finshed good a laptop already inserted in invetory with its complete price including all components, how should we have to perform this task, without double impact on inventory and accounts as well.

Thanks

Hi Zubair

As going by the example u laid down here the laptop is considered as the finished item now instated of 100 GB harddisk the client wants 200 GB harddisk Then what u can do is you can maintain 100 GB harddisk as another item and first do -100 Gb OF Harddisk( the harddisk that he does not wants from the laptop ) and add another 100 gb harddisk with 2 quantity

thus by following the above procedure u would take in 100 gb that was there is the laptop and would provide him the additional 100 gb additional harddisk

ITS Worth to give it a try

Manish got half right. At least two items are needed in this solution: 100G & 200G HD each. Goods Receipt the 1st and Goods Issue the 2nd.

Hi,

I could understand your pain. However, if this business process is in your normal procedure, the problem started from the implementation.

Suppose it is only a rare case. What you can do might be: thinking outside box. The most clean way would be reverse everything. Then recreate by correct document. If that is not available. How about just deal with this 2 HD?

Thanks,

Actually you got my point and felt my pain as well. What could be the possible solution or workaround within the box?.

If the laptop is a finished goods, you can insert a line for the replaced component with negative quantity and with positive quantity the replacing component. E.g.:

1 piece laptop

-1 piece 100 GB HD

1 piece 200 GB HD

[zubair_khan5]

in this case with negative quantity inventory will rais with item cost suppost it minus harddisk @ 10000/= it will add in stock which is already included in laptop cost. I want to avoid double impact in stock.

I donu2019t understand your requirement.

How do you want to manage the stock and the costs?

Hi Zubair,

You can do one thing. Add the Bill of Material for the same item. And add the child components (HDD, RAM etc)for that Computer in the BOM.

You will also need to maintain the components of computer in the inventory. As you have sid your client is retailer. So he must be selling the components of computer also.

By doing so all of his other requirements & activities will also get fulfilled.

For reference you can refer the sample default company. See its BOM & Item Master Date for a sample computer.

Srikant thanks for reply

Reference to your solution we need to manage inventory by each item, suppose we have to enter all components seperately like HD,Ram, Processor,Muthor board and powesupply etc. Whilte my client managing inventory by Product, like they purchase Laptop of amount 70000/= with configuration 2GH processor, 100 gb hr 2 gb ram, they will create single item in item master with above description otherwise they have to manage very detailed inventory and they are not agree to do this. Is there any other solution for Add and Remove.

Hi,

For this you have to define two items in the inventory.

1. First item will be defined in BOM & Inventory with same code & its child items in the BOM itself.This will solve your issue of customization in the computer set when a customer wants to change the HDD capacity.

e.g "PC - P4 2.4G, DDR 2GB, 100G HD" in the item master & BOM with its child items like DDR 2GB Ram, 100GB HDD etc.

2. Second item in the inventory only which will solve your issue when your customer only wants to sell the whole product itself.

You can tell him while selling the standard product use this item.

e.g. "PC Set1- P4 2.4G, DDR 2GB, 100G HD "

This is the only way using which you can solve the issue.
