(Handling of Pre-Paid Shipments)

Where a shipment is prepaid the suppliers invoice is manually entered into the system and coded to the system goods in transit account. The invoice is then paid in the normal manner. See Supplier Payments for details.

On physical receipt of the goods a goods receipt is generated as normal. On confirmation of the goods receipt the system creates a GL journal debiting stock on hand and crediting goods in transit for the value of the stock. The value posted is the net cost of the stock, not the landed cost.

The general ledger journal in effect reverses the posting from the suppliers invoice out of the goods in transit account and transfers it into the stock on hand account.

To utilise this feature you must set the Pre-paid Shipment? flag to yes on each effected goods receipt. See New Goods Receipt for more details.

The pre-paid shipment option will only be available if a "Goods in Transit" account has been specified. See Utilities - Module: Inventory for more details.
