We created an Inbound Shipment for PO01, let's stay. Then, we realised that we forgot to add one more item in the PO and in the Inbound Shipment. We edited the PO and added that item. When we edit the Inbound Shipment, the PO with that new item does not appear. The inbound shipment has linked ownership transfer already. I tried to replicate it but I am able to add that new item. Is there any known limitation as to the ability to add new items from an existing PO (that is already included in the same Inbound Shipment) in the Inbound Shipment?

I think the key is the ownership transfer doc. You’ve got to delete or edit that before you can change the inbound shipment. I scrapped the whole inbound shipment module a few months ago so I’m a wee bit rusty on the specifics. But your issue was the same one we had — and a big reason why we scrapped it… it was so painfully manual to edit POs-Inbound Shipments-Ownership Transfrs that we gave up. We used the more basic POs/item receipts and maintained our In Transit inventory value outside of netsuite in excel.

@Jim Schreiber any reason why you're not using a location record track the in transit?

That’s kind of how we’re doing it now — It goes from (Factory Location) to (In Transit Location) to (Domestic Warehouse). The Inbound Shipment module (at least 18 months ago when we were using it) doesn’t use regular locations… it was something buried called “Location External Value in Transit” or something like that. We made a special report to get at just that data, and you couldn’t use that location like a normal location in NS

That's still the case. When do you create the Item Receipt? When it is already in transit? Then, you'll do an Inventory Transfer to Domestic WH?

Hey sorry, I sometimes forget to log in here. We create the first item receipt when we take ownership… we manufacture in Asia and are based in North America, so that’s when we have the shipping docs for the goods + they’re loaded on to the vessel
