Here's the deal: we need to create undervalued dummy invoices (or some kind of equivalent packing list) for international customers that work with us on CONSIGNMENT.
Because the shipment is on consignment and not firm sale, we can't use a normal sales order/invoice. We must use a Transaction Entry to transfer the stock from our warehouse to our partner's warehouse. The problem is, we still need a packing list attached to the shipment, both for customs purposes and for the customer to verify upon arrival.
What would you do in our situation?
- Create a fake sales order, then delete it before invoicing? Obviously we want to avoid posting transactions that aren't real.
- Create a fake packing list manually in Excel, then making a separate Transaction Entry for internal purposes only? But we also want to avoid the cumbersome practice of manually copy/pasting item descriptions and item costs into an Excel document, adding our company header, printing, etc.
- Print the Transaction Entry/Register itself? But we need to have costs listed on the packing list/dummy invoice which we can't do in a Transaction Entry. At the very least we don't want to accidentally change our real unit costs internally.
- None of the above?
Suggestions appreciated! Thanks!
