If you are using Delivery Notes
or Goods Receipts
tabs, Manager would create new columns under your Inventory Items
tab called Qty to receive
and Qty to deliver
.
The purpose of these columns is to track movement of goods between your business, customers or supplier.
Unfortunately, enabling these tabs would mean now you have to record Delivery Notes
and Goods Receipts
for all inventory items when received from suppliers or shipped to customers. No exceptions otherwise Qty to receive
or Qty to deliver
would continue increasing indefinitely.
If you want to use Delivery Notes
to generate documents for customers but not necessarily track qty to be delivered you can’t.
Or if you have many inventory items and want to track qty to be delivered for a few of them. Not all. You can’t.
Another issue was that merely enabling a tab would change your inventory qty on hand figures which would come as a surprise to many users.
The latest version (21.4.59) is fixing all these issues by simply allowing to decide for which inventory items to track Qty to receive
and/or Qty to deliver
. This is served by two new checkboxes on inventory item form.
These checkboxes are only visible when Delivery Notes
or/and Goods Receipts
tabs are enabled.
