For stores who want to receive products into inventory before the invoice arrives, and later apply the correct invoice number to previously received products, BSMGR has a utility to do so!
“A head for your business. A heart for your ministry.”
Steps to doing so…
1. Receive the items with IVPR as you normally would.
2. When IVPR prompts for “Invoice #”, use a bogus invoice # that you can remember. For example, the vendor abbreviation and ship date ZON092304.
3. After receiving the invoice use IVUL # 17 to change the bogus invoice # to the correct invoice number.
“A head for your business. A heart for your ministry.”
