Re: inventory problem

[Dieter S. <dsi...@sq...>]

You can create a vendor or customer invoice at any time. The inventory
level does not dictate if you can sell an item you apparently do not have.
The inventory level should always be taken as an indicator only not what
you actually have. If the goods are in the warehouse but the clerk didn't
enter them yet, you have no inventory, but it's sitting right there, it
just hasn't been put away yet.

A vendor invoice is the equivalent to a Merchandise Received function.
There is no separate module for it because it is one and the same for now.
When I go into serialization then it will be required to input or scan in
items received.
