Inventory Setup

As part of inventory management, you can set up inventory to:

  • Assign item charges on purchases from foreign countries/regions based on weight or volume
  • Use the same column for original and corrective postings

Item Charge Assignment in Purchase Documents

In Russia, Business Central can assign item charges on purchases from foreign countries/regions based on weight or volume. For each item, in the Item Card window, on the Foreign Trade FastTab, if the Gross Weight Mandatory and Unit Volume Mandatory check boxes are selected, you must fill in the Gross Weight and Unit Volume fields. When you suggest an item charge assignment on a purchase order, you must specify that the distribution principle, weight, and volume are added to the options to choose from. For more information, see Use Item Charges to Account for Additional Trade Costs.

Item Corrections

You can set up inventory to use the same column for original and corrective postings. This is often referred to as red storno.

You can use red storno posting to post corrections for the following inventory entries:

  • Corrective entries in the item journal
  • Reversal of item documents such as item receipts and item shipments
  • Posting item revaluation or item reclassification journals
  • Periodic adjustments of item costs

For more information, see Post Red Storno Corrections.

Adjusting Item Cost

If you select the Enable Red Storno field in the Inventory Setup window, then negative deviations are posted according to red storno when you run the Adjust Cost - Item Entries batch job.
