I'm not sure if this is a bug, a feature, or user error....
Scenario...
1. I create a purchase order for 10 units of product X; it happens that
I qualify for a 40% discount from the supplier
(Q: Is it correct for the order to itemised the discount 10 times (once
per product). This seems odd when we don't itemised the product 10 times
- ie, we list the product once and specify the quantity 10. What is the
scenario where itemising the adjustments adds value?)
2. Once the order is approved, I quick receive the order. If I
understand correctly, this would be the correct thing to do if I expect
all order items to be shipped together. Should I be doing this, or
waiting for the shipment & invoice to arrive and then create the ship
group to mirror the reality (this seems too contrived to be the right
thing to do).
3. When the shipment arrives, I reconcile the actual delivery against
the planned shipment. In the scenario, assume the supplier only sent me
5 units. I specify a quantity 5, and receive the products into
inventory. All OK so far....
4. I go back to the shipment and change the status to received. Again,
all looks good...
5. Now go to the invoice and I see that there is a line item for 5 units
that were shipped, but there a 10 line items for the PO discount
adjustments but at 1/2 the amount they are supposed to be. IWO, instead
of invoicing for 5 units with 5x 40% discounts, it is invoicing for 5
units with 10x 20% discount. Except for rounding errors that might
occur, the numbers add up, but this will make it very hard to make sense
of transactions when they are posted to the GL. (Not to mention the fact
that I need to make balancing adjustments to the invoice to account for
GST).
Is this a bug/feature, or did I do something wrong?
Cheers, Iain
