i receive an item for cogs that we set up an non inventory item. for each cost, we get a credit in a separate item on the vendor bill. can we upload negative quanity items in a vendor bill? the total vendor bill will be an expense.

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that you cannot directly upload negative quantity items in a vendor bill. However, there are a couple of workarounds you can consider: 1. You can follow through with the standard bill credit and then do an inventory adjustment to remove the inventory. This is suggested in the first conversation. 2. Another option is to use a Vendor Return Authorization, which is refunded (bill credit) and closed. 3. You can also consider receiving the items to $0 on the item receipt, bill them to $0 on the vendor bill and add the correct expense account on the vendor bill. This way, you have the items in stock but with the cost already accounted for. Remember, these are just suggestions based on the conversations and you might need to adjust them according to your specific situation. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
