The Microsoft Product Development and Marketing Departments have started sharing “Feature of the Day” blog entries for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013. Here are some instructions and screen prints for using “Inventory REASON CODES”.
Inventory REASON CODES - Purpose:
Reason codes add the ability to track more detail in regards to stock movements or adjustments (specifically when using Transaction Entry, Transfer Entry, Stock Count Entry or In-Transit Transfer Entry) allowing warehouse and inventory managers greater visibility of their inventory.
Setup:
Go to Setup > Inventory > Reason Code Setup to define your company’s Reason Codes. (Define a code for “Variance” type transaction).
Transactions:
Go to Transactions > Inventory > Transaction Entry and select Variance from Document Type Dropdown list. The system will allow you to select a “Reason Code”.
Go to Transactions > Inventory > In-Transit Transfer Entry to enter Reason Codes if you have defined them for transfers of in-transit materials.
Monitoring:
Go to Reports > Inventory > History > Transaction History to view transactions with reason codes.
Smart List Builder - Can be used which will allow the user to define their own Reason Code queries.
