How to handle in Axapta Point No.1 Q: how to introduce perpetual inventory system. ans: Use counting journal functionality under Inventory module q: Want to keep every thing accounted under expenses, not to keep any purchase/Inventory account in GL. I understand, you dont want to keep a seperate purchase account, but you want to write all stationeries as expenditure at the purchase itself. This can be achieved by defining the item type as "Service" and in purchase itself configure to post under Expense, so that inventory value will not be calculated in reports Inviting comments on my suggestion S Ramanan ----- Original Message ---- From: AX CONS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, 13 December, 2007 7:49:22 AM Subject: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Perpetual Inventory or non-perpetual Inventory Hello all, I need your help! I have one question. They want to use perpetual inventory tracking for some items, especially for office items. As I got some information from a forum, there is no GL account for the purchase account for some inventory. We should have purchase account for posting in Axapta. That looks more related GL and no inventory closing for these kind of inventory.Do you know anything about Perpetual Inventory concept? if so, I could get the information and try to handle in AX.
