[17.6.10] More clarity under Inventory Items tab

@sharpdrivetek it amazes me you are still fighting so hard around with this. I hate it to break it to you but I am thinking you are making mistakes in your books. You seem to confuse ownership with possession which @Brucanna explained to you earlier.

Delivery notes and Goods receipts note must stay out of your production process. Especially as the goods you send to your business partner gets returned and you maintain ownership. I said it and I repeat, the goods even when sent to your business partner is still your goods. They only change location. Therefore create a location to represent the various manufacturing places and carry out all production there and capitalise production costs of business partners there.
There are two ways you can capitalise your business partners bill to the inventory.

  1. By using Add non-inventory cost into production to capitalise expenses (expense account will be credited) to the inventory. With this however you will record your business partners bill against the expense account (expense account will be debited) to zero out the balance of the expense account account.

  2. When you receive your business partners bill, capitalise the amount to your inventory using this https://forum.manager.io/t/add-freight-in-to-inventory-item-costs/9610

You will have to be moving your inventory from location to location as required.

Now, i don’t really know but how would you use Delivery notes to record goods sent to a Manufacturing partner (a supplier in form)? The goods Delivered note drop down only displays customers, so are you going to create that business partner as a supplier and a customer again on the system to record the movement of your inventory to and from them using delivery and Goods receipt notes? I am confused here, or you will want Lubos to enable contacts to be both customer and supplier.

I am not a moderator here but I think you are pushing this discussion too far. I have even lost focus of what you really want, I am confused. Various suggestions have been made for you which are very workable but you insist on making Lubos change settings which will affect other many users who are okay with how these Notes function in Manager.
