DBD: Reselling Client Owned Inventory
This workflow defines how to resell client owned inventory, repay your customer, and ensure the general ledger, inventory and sales reports are updated correctly.
Setup
Add "Customer Ship-To" with same tax code as warehouse.
Note: Use this Ship-To for issuing credits ONLY!
- Use same Product Code on ALL items for this client (ensures GL and report accuracy).
- Consider using new Product Code that represents this reselling program.
- Recommend designated warehouse location is used for this resale program.
Buying Inventory
It’s strongly recommended that this inventory goes to a separate warehouse to isolate and maximize reporting capabilities.
- Create Sales Order for items, ship to 9001 warehouses (standard).
- Receive into "Inventory w/AP Invoice" (standard).
- Invoice Sales Order to bill customer (standard). Initial Tax is charged.
2 Step Inventory Adjustment:
a. Use (*) Asterisk in "Reference Number field" to prevent GL adjustment.
b. Adjust full quantity out of the 9001 warehouses.
c. Adjust full quantity into NEW distributor owned warehouse (#’d 8999 or below).
d. Verify Cost equals sell (prevents commission calculation).
Releasing Inventory
- Enter requisition to location.
- Invoice requisitions – "Desired Tax is charged based on Ship-To."
General Ledger auto activity:
a. Credit to revenue – Debit AR.
b. Credit NEW Inventory and Debit COS.
Credit memo
Gather the information need to credit the client.
- Issue Credit memo using "New Customer Ship-To (w/matching tax code)."
- Entered current months reimbursement. Initial Tax is credited.
- Last screen of credit memo - General Ledger.
Add two additional GL posting records to:
a. Credit to Cost of Goods account.
b. Debit to NEW Inventory account.
When the credit memo is issued and MATCHES the monthly activity, the net result is a ZERO balance to the new Inventory account.
