Hi EveryOne

How do I prevent the GL impact from forming immediately when creating an Item Receipt transaction?

Can I use a user event script?

Thank you.

Use the pick/pack/ship statuses.  IFs won't post until it is Shipped, so you can mark things as packed first.

Ask if for Item receipt if I am not wrong.

There is no way you can delay it. Another option is custom transaction/record that transforms to actual item receipt upon a trigger 

Custom GL plugin to reverse it back and then additional event to  move it back? Not the most straightforward solution but just an idea.

I’m curious, why are you not wanting a GL impact when you do an item receipt?

Hi All,

Thank you for your response and answer,

The reason is that the GL impact is only formed when the receipt item is approved, but when the receipt transaction is formed, it automatically has a GL impact, so for this case I use a custom transaction first for pending receipts, then create a receipt transaction if it has been approved in the custom transaction
