You can create a commodity manifest to process several purchases of a commodity item as a single receipt. The information on a commodity manifest is also used to generate lines on purchase documents.
Enter one or more destination bins on a commodity manifest before posting. When you post the manifest, the received quantity of the commodity item is put away into the specified storage bins.
Steps
In the search box, enter Commodity Manifests, and then choose the related link.
On the Home tab, in the New group, choose New.
In the No. field, press Enter to select the next available number.
Fill in the Location Code field.
Fill in the other fields on the header.
On the Lines FastTab, in the Vendor No. field on the first line, select the vendor from which you received the commodity item.
In the Manifest Quantity field, enter the quantity of the item you purchased from the vendor.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each purchase you want to add to the commodity manifest.
On the Destination Bins FastTab, enter the bins into which the commodity item should be put away, as well as the quantity to put away in each bin. The sum of the quantities assigned to destination bins must equal the total received quantity on the commodity manifest.
Post the commodity manifest.
When you post a commodity manifest, the program automatically creates new purchase lines based on the manifest lines. The manner in which a purchase line is assigned to a document is determined by the related vendor's setup. Purchase lines created from commodity manifests are automatically received as part of the posting process.
Creating and posting purchase lines with a commodity manifest only posts receipts. Orders must still be invoiced, either directly from the source documents or by posting a commodity purchase order.
