Hey All,

We have common shipping supplies that we use accross our 5 plants. We are trying to standardize the parts that these plants are using to order shipping supplies.

We'll issue the PO to our vendors using Adagio POs (8.0 07-may-2008), do the receipt in POs etc.

I've noticed that for sundry items and inventory items, there are G/L codes and departments assigned.

We aren't necessarily interested in tracking quantities in Adagio Inventory for this stuff, but it would be nice to be able to go back (with Crystal reports or something) and say how much we spent on a specific item (shrink wrap for example).

What would be the best way to set up these parts, so that it will go to the correct department in the G/L? Sundry item or inventory item? Does the department of the order overide the department of the part?

Thanks!

Unfortunately there is no easy answer to this question. Off the top of my head I would use sundry items so that the cost goes directly to ledger, no quantity on hand exists, and I could use the sundry item code to track total purchases.

As far as how the departments would behave I believe this is dependent upon how you have IC, PO, and the sundry items set up.
