Returning material
IEM considers 2 types of returns:
- Returning items which were earlier consumed in the Project.
The program will check if indeed Project Ledger Entries exist for the returned item in the specified location and not exceeding the returned quantity. - Returning items which were earlier delivered from the Project. Also in this scenario the program will check if indeed Project Ledger Entries exist for the returned item in the specified location and not exceeding the returned quantity.
1. Returning consumed items
To return items which were earlier consumed:
- Create a new Project Planning line for the item and make sure to select the same location.
- Specify a quantity with a negative (-) sign and make sure this quantity does not exceed the quantity earlier consumed.
- Post the planning line.
Depending on the invoicing method for the Project or the Project Task a Billable line is created:
- Fixed Price: no billing line is created
- Time & Material: a billing line is created
- Delivery: see below Returning delivered items
2. Returning delivered items
Posting a planning line of the type Deliver will result in a Posted Delivery Line. These posted delivery lines are grouped as per the posting event. When posting a delivery, the item is taken out of inventory as a Negative Adjustment.
To undo a Delivery:
- From Project> Related > History open the Posted Deliveries.
- In the Posted Project Delivery page select the Posted Delivery.
- In the Posted Delivery lines select the line(s) you would like to Undo.
- From the Line Functions menu select Undo Delivery.
- Confirm the pop-up: “Do you really want to undo the selected lines?”
This function will reverse the delivery resulting in a negative posted delivery line. Based on the initial delivery the following entries are made:
- A negative project ledger entry to reverse the usage costs from the project.
- A positive negative adjustment item ledger entry to increase the inventory.
