Goods Received, Issued and Returned

Overview

In QuickEasy BOS Enterprise, transactions may be created to issue, receive and return inventory. Inventory can consist of raw materials or finished goods. Inventory can also be manufactured where the individual raw material items are received, and the finished goods are issued back to stock or to a customer.

The following transactions are typically used:

  • Buy goods from a supplier: Goods Received (PO)
  • Transfer those goods to the workshop: Goods Received (WO)
  • Receive back unused goods or offcuts from the workshop: Goods Returned
  • Issue the finished goods to customers or issue raw materials to a job: Goods Issued

When goods are issued internally from one department or area to the next, it is referred to as a Transfer. A transfer of materials can be issued and received. The issue and the receipt are typically the two sides of the same transaction (e.g. the factory issues the materials to the workshop. The workshop receives those materials from the factory).

Goods Issued transactions are used for Finished Goods and Raw Materials in cases where goods are issued to a customer or process.

  • Finished Goods can be issued from a Work Order into stock.
  • Finished Goods can be issued from stock to a customer.
  • Raw Materials are issued to work orders when they are used in production.

Use Goods Received transactions to Receive Goods from suppliers or to receive unused raw materials from production (work orders).

When goods are received from suppliers, shipping and clearing costs, also known as Landing Costs, may be allocated to the items to include those costs in the cost prices.

Goods Return transactions have the same effect on inventory as Goods Received but record goods returned by customers for control purposes. This transaction returns the good into inventory. However, if the items cannot be used or resold, write them off; otherwise these transactions will incorrectly inflate the value of stock held.

Adding Items to Transactions:

  • To use items in inventory transactions they must be marked as inventory items by selecting Fixed or All Locations next to Inventory.
  • Not all items can be inventory items (e.g. services).
  • If Fixed Locations is selected for an item, locations must be added to the item's inventory tab.
  • When adding items to an inventory transaction, the item's available locations must match the transaction's available locations (applies to Transfer Issues and Receives).
