Posting inventory transactions

Upon entering a product inventory transaction and verifying that the transaction information is correct, a transaction can be posted. When an inventory transaction is posted, a product's inventory records are updated with the transaction information.

If you elect to post inventory transactions automatically (not recommended), all transactions are posted when they are entered and saved on the Enter and edit receipts and adjustments window. Automatically posting inventory transactions is not recommended because it does not allow you to review your transactions and make any necessary corrections before posting the transactions.

By posting transactions manually, you can verify and correct any errors before posting a transaction. This helps protect product inventory, backorder, and cost of goods sold information from inadvertent updates or changes. Inventory transactions are posted manually as long as the Automatically Post Inventory Receipts/Adjustments option is disabled on the Inventory System Setup window (from Orders, select Set up module, and click Inventory).

After verifying that your transaction information is correct, you can post your inventory transactions individually, in groups, or all at once using the Post receipts window (from Orders, select Manage inventory > Post receipts).

Warning!  

Product inventory receipts, adjustments, and transfers can be posted only for products that have an Active, Inactive, or Out of Production status. If a product's status is changed to a status other than Active, Inactive, or Out of Production after a transaction has been entered for the product, the transaction will not display on the Post receipts window and cannot be posted.
