The problem is for those who has many inventory locations, how can they remember now which location should be in/out when GRN/GDN create. It would take too much time to correct inventory quantity by location.
@lubos Please reconsider for this new change as this new feather cause inconvenience to many current users with several inventory location.

For that you have to create an Inventory Transfer for Adjustment just like @lubos suggested incase of DNs GRNs for correcting qty on hand
Open Inventory qty by location report and compare with actual quantities at those location then make transfers.
Still i would suggest wait for a few days maybe @lubos make some new changes because i am not sure whether these changes are final or not only @lubos can comment on that. So when everything gets final then make Adjustment entries if necessary.
IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IT MANUALLYā¦
We have 5 different locations with 800 plus references and having daily movement of items. we dont know whats there actuallyā¦
have to give up on manager if not resolved because we cant just rely on forceful update with messed up dataā¦
Doing it manually is something frustrating, especially for users with many locations, most clients with me have a series of locations. I have a client with eight locations, how do we know at each location that goods have been sold out if we are doing it manually?
Please @lubos help us look into this matter, it is not sweetable for us. The update is not great at the moment, please fix everything

Dear all, despite the current inconvenience we are happy with Manager. Checking the stock balances and found some wrong bookings by ourselves back to 2020 and corrections made afterwards. These are now redundant and cause some of the imbalances. For us it would helpful to have a one-off rebalance facility. Will make corrections after Lubos and the team make a decision. Confident that the are find the best way. (For us Manager is still the best application for our businesses.

we cant manage to do it manuallyā¦ @lubos pls recify from your end for all old entires. new entry we shall handleā¦
I consider this to be the most serious issue with the current implementation. I will figure out how to solve this one way or another.

This looks great to me, and features like the ability to show reserved items will be useful for us. However, we have a couple of issues:
- We have nearly 9,000 sales invoices and more than 2,100 customers, so manually generating delivery notes for all of them will be a big job.
- We use goods receipts but not delivery notes. So, all in the incoming inventory seems to have been recorded correctly, but none of the outgoing inventory has. We purchase most of our stock in large consolidated orders, and the receipt of the goods is never on the same date as we are invoiced. Therefore it is useful for us to be able to track what has been delivered to us separately from what has been invoiced. However, most of our sales are to individual customers over the counter, so being forced to use delivery notes for every sale will add a frustrating and unnecessary step. I think one user above suggested having the option to set sales invoices to automatically create a simultaneous delivery note, which I think would be a nice solution for the way we work.
The way I view sales invoices is that they are sales that will be settled at later time. So creating a sales invoice creates:
- Obligation for customer to pay which can record using
New Receipt - and obligation for you to deliver goods which you can record using
New Delivery Note
If customer is paying and receives the goods at the same time over the counter, then you should be simply recording receipts under Receipts tab (you can rename receipt to Invoice / Receipt)
Is there any reason you want to insist on sales invoices if these are over the counter sales?
Please we look forward to a fast response to fix it ASAP
Our tax authority requires us to issue a āFiscal tax invoiceā for every sale. The invoice must be submitted to the tax authority through an electronic device connected to our computer. Most of our customers donāt really care about this, but there are some who ask for the invoice and need it to reflect their business details so that they can claim the expense or VAT.
This will not work for us, as frequently the amount being received does not match the value of the goods being invoiced. This is often because of issues with change (denominations smaller than USD 10 are in short supply here, so when we donāt have the correct amount we will apply the credit to the customerās Accounts receivable), but we also have other situations where a customer might pay for the goods and services in multiple instalments. So, we need to be able to keep the invoice and receipt separate.
If we have to start using delivery notes then so be it. We will learn and adjust. In some situations it will be useful, but in the majority it would add another step and potential for error. Thatās why I think an option on the Sales invoice to simultaneously create a corresponding Delivery note is a good one, especially since it would also give us the option to uncheck it if we do want to record the delivery separately. The more immediate concern is how we go about retrospectively bringing the inventory up to date for our more than 2,100 customers, but it looks like that is something youāll be addressing.

we have the same fate, and i canāt answer my clients right now, it is impossible to manually convert all invoices to delivery notes and purchase invoice to goods receipts given multiple locations, thousand of SKUs, and thousand of customers.
sample of 1 client
canāt we have both ways of handling stock available? i.e maintaining inventory location on sales invoices and purchase invoices and the new method for using on delivery notes ā¦ so that we can avoid all this confusion? its becoming double entry of data
and kindly please make sure that your changes donāt affect data that was already entered before the changes. we are currently facing back rush from the customers due to the inconvenience
@lubos kindly find away asap because clients are confused by the extra steps and changes in the work that was already reconciled. they are labelling the system un reliable

Dear Lubos, even if we want to batch-create delivery notes from thousand of sales invoice, there is still a column (inventorylocation column) on delivery note that cannot be populated from sales invoice batch-operation because there is no column on sales invoice that connects inventorylocation to delivery note.
This means batch-create for delivery note is still not effective. What can be done?
Hi Lubos,
The problem with this method is, Qty to order is calculated from Qty on Hand and not Qty Owned. and without keeping track of Qty on Hand we cant track the Qty to order as well. Is there a way rectify this.
-
My alternative suggestions: Since I am also coming from a perfective of not doing the inputs twice. Make this new method of Delivery Notes and Goods Receipts that effects the Qty on hand only enabled for those who enable Delivery Notes and Goods Receipts. For those like us who donāt use these 2 features can work with the older method.
-
I understand the logic behind this implementation which is more meaningful for certain companies. However If possible let us enable the older version of Inventory Method for now till you bring a better solution that suits our needs.
Kind Regards,
