How to enable Type "4 Item Code" on a Supplier Invoice?

[michellepace]

Hi there,

Does anyone know how I can enable the use of "4 Item Code" on Supplier Invoices?



As always, thank you.

Hi Michelle,

You will probably find that your system has been set to use Goods Received Notes for incoming stock (go to Setup...Suppliers...Control to check).

This means that all stock purchases must first be processed with a GRN and then linked to a Supplier Invoice.

Supplier Invoices can, therefore, only be used for non-stock purchases.

Thanks Neville. I was not aware of this feature.

Hi Neville. A belated thank you for your reply. Below is what my suppliers setting looks like. We don't keep a stock count at all in Pastel. Of anything. Is it possible to change a setting such that I could use "4 Item Code" on supplier invoices directly, as well as continue to use "4 Item Code" on GRN's ?

The reason being is that there are a lot of services we pay for (for example, various health insurances, Vodacom etc) where it makes no sense to do a GRN and then have to pull it through to a PN. I'd like to be able to just do the PN directly, but using "4 Item Code".

Is this at all possible? … looking at the options there of Mandatory or Never…. I'm suspect you are going to tell me it is not possible. But I thought I would ask anyhow

Hi Michelle,

You can change the setting for GRNs from "Mandatory" to "Never" if you first convert all your existing GRNs to Supplier Invoices.

GRNs will then no longer exist as an option.

Oh goodness. No that's not what I want at all. Not to worry thanks Neville, I'll keep things as is. As always, thanks for your reply.

Actually - this is *exactly* what I need! We don't track inventory at all. I've just halved my data entry load by selecting this option. I can go straight from PO to supplier invoice. Perfect!! Thanks Neville
