Hi all, when a customer starts using NAV, we must post the starting inventory (the total quantity present in inventory for each item). What is the correct entry type to choose? Positive Adjustement or Purchase? I’ve noted that the difference between the two is that the purchase entry type inserts a value in the Purchase Amount (Actual) field of the Value Entry table, and that this field is used to calculate the FlowField Purchases (LCY) on the Item table, but I cannot understand what this could affect. Does anyone here knows what’s the correct or best choice?

Set it as a positive adjustment.
At the end the field “Purchases (LCY)” of the item affects only the statistics of the item. So my question is: why the initial inventory must not affect the statistics? In my opinion is better to affect them using the Purchase entry type, otherwise it seems that the initial inventory has not been purchased…
It is not a purchase though, it is an adjustment. In my opinion the statistics are not really relevant, it is the inventory value. In all the implementations I have done I have always used positive, but if you prefer purchase feel free to use it, you asked for an opinion [:D]
WOW Alex, you might want to clean up the comments in that entry…
Really? You don’t like beyonce knowles?? [:)]
Seriously though, it’s too much trouble to keep up with blog spammers… You spend the time to delete them all, then the next day, you get 100 more… [:(]
I think Beyonce is bootilicious, but I wouldn’t follow any of those links. It’s your blog, so if you don’t mind I don’t mind :), Personally I would not want my blog to look like that. You can turn off comments altogether.
