Recording inventory bought but purchase invoice not received

Hi,

We have 4 POs this month that are for inventory.  The inventory has been shipped.  I need to enter the purchase invoice, but have not received it yet from the supplier.  They send them late sometimes.  The shipping documents alerting the customer that their order has been shipped was sent, which triggers the customer invoice.  If I enter the customer invoice with the associated "inventory" account, because I have not entered the purchase invoice, it will cause the inventory to be in the negative which is technically untrue.  How can i enter the inventory and the purchase invoice as an accrual?

Thanks

Melissa

    Melissa,

    Apologies for the late response. Are you using Sage 50 Desktop? I'm asking this because Sage Accounting has no PO module and you can't sell inventory into the negative.

    You will simply enter Vendor Bill which will increase inventory count and make them available for invoicing.
