Transaction Entry

If an item is dimension-controlled, you can assign dimension details to inventory transaction lines on these forms:

Inventory Transaction Entry
Sales Order Entry
POS Entry
Packing Slip Maintenance
PO Order Entry
PO Receipt Entry
PO Shipment Entry
AP Invoice Entry
AP Credit Note Entry
AR Invoice Entry
AR Credit Note Entry

When you enter a transaction for an inventory line for an item that is dimension-controlled, enter dimension details before the saving the line. The sum of dimension quantities that you enter is validated against the transaction line quantity.

You can enter transactions for dimension-controlled items when the item is:

Both serial/lot controlled and dimension controlled.
Dimension controlled only.

Whether or not a dimension controlled item is serial/lot controlled, this applies to transaction entry:

If unit of measure conversions have been set up for the item (for example, stocking to selling and/or purchasing unit of measure), the standard conversion process applies when you enter a transaction. The final balances at the item's parent and dimensional levels are always reflect the stocking unit of measure.
When dimension quantities are entered when you enter a transaction, they are always integers. The dimension conversion is then applied to convert the piece quantity into the item's stocking unit of measure quantity.
For transactions with a decreasing effect on inventory, you can only select dimensions for adjustment if there is a quantity available greater than zero at the item/location/lot (if in use)/dimension level.
When transactions are saved, these item quantities are updated at the dimension level:
Quantity on hand - units (pieces).
Quantity on hand - stocking unit of measure.
Quantity committed - units.
Quantity committed - stocking unit of measure.
Quantity available - units.
Quantity available - stocking unit of measure.

The dimension conversion always converts unit quantities into stocking unit of measure quantities.

You can view item dimension balances using the Location Balances by Dimension form, which you can open from the Inventory Item Maintenance form. All dimension balances are tracked by location if locations are in use.
