Purpose

Overview

Use Confirmed Pick Demand Inventory Adjust to increase or decrease on-hand inventory balances before creating invoices or credit memos. This process also attempts to automatically create the general ledger accounts for the related order based on its order type.

Note If accounts do not resolve to valid general ledger accounts for the related orders, invoices cannot be created. Users can be set up in Location Exception Notification Setup to receive an email when this occurs. Use Pick Demand Account Resolution Update to correct invalid accounts for the transaction.

Images\warning.gif This is the point of no return for order processing. After you confirm the pick demand, you cannot void or change the pick demand, and you must process the order all the way through to completion (for example, creation of a customer invoice).

Adjusting Inventory for Specific Confirmed Pick Demands

To adjust inventory for specific confirmed pick demands:

  1. Select filter criteria for the pick demands for which you want to adjust inventory. You can indicate the sales or shipping locations, customer, shipper, pick demand, and/or route. You can also indicate a specific order or customer purchase order number.

  2. Click the Show Data button in the ribbon. The Results tab displays the pick demands that meet the criteria you selected in step 1.

  3. If you want to adjust inventory for all displayed pick demands, skip to step 5.

  1. If you want to also adjust inventory for additional pick demands that are not displayed, click the Select tab, and repeat steps 1-3. The pick demands already selected for inventory adjustment remain selected even if you change the filter criteria on the Select tab.

  2. Click the Print Options tab, and select options for the Inventory Adjustment Report that is output when you adjust inventory for pick demands.

Note If you select to use the Scheduling Assistant, you cannot select specific pick demands to inventory adjust.

  1. If you selected specific pick demands for inventory adjustment, click the Adjust Selected button in the ribbon.
