Hi all! I'd like to verify something about Jobs and shipping items. NAV already allows invoicing items that have been reclassed or reserved in a job. The "Create Sales Invoice" batch job creates an invoice for the item or append it to an existing invoice. Then, the invoice is posted, but the item is obviously still in stock, since there hasn't been any shipment done.
The context behind this is we might be making an item in a Production Order that is part of a broader project being developped with a Customer, who gets an invoice from time to time when a milestone is met.
I doubt it's actually possible, but if shipping is possible in a job, the need to use a sales order for this purpose would not have been necessary. But then I suppose we may have to use it anyway.
Another thing is shipping the item using the Sales Order won't post any cost in the related job, only in the COGS as it should. Even though we have a Job Planning Line for this item, with a value in Unit Cost, nothing is posted to the G/L (after calculating WIP and posting WIP). That may be related with Job Posting Groups not working as it should yet.
So everything seems kind of unclear. Can anyone clarify this subject, please?
Thanks!
