Fulfilment posting to GL on created date, not shipped stage date
Hi,
We are still doing some testing, but we have come across an issue where if you use the '3 stage - pick/pack/ship' fulfilment process instead of the single fulfill step - the G/L impact can get backdated into a closed period.
The example for our business is that we do some customizing of a product and attach some labour, but don't use assembly builds for it, what we had done was fulfill the order to Picked stage - go do the QA/Upfit work on it - then return it to the despatch area and mark is as Packed. When it is physically shipped, it is marked as shipped, and that is when the G/L should be posted (that date/that period). The problem appears to be that the inventory is debited correctly (on the shipping stage), but the G/L COGS hit occurs
