Account for Return of Project-Based Transfer Orders from Expense Destination and Selected Inventory Destination Receipts

For project heavy industries, tracking on-hand quantities by project and task is critical for efficient project completion within the established timeline and budget. When tracking your on-hand quantities by project and task, it's common to use an internal material transfer, or transfer order, to an expense destination or an inventory destination to a subinventory that isn't tracking on-hand quantity when you're physically issuing material to a project site. Prior to this update, you couldn't return those types of transfers if the transfer order was project-striped.  As a cost accountant, you can now cost and properly account transfer order returns of project-based goods from non-quantity tracked sub-inventories and expense destinations back to the stockroom, ensuring correct project-specific inventory valuation.

Given below is an illustration of different business scenarios and transaction types where the costs are sent to project in case of transfer scenarios.

Project enabled in both sending and receiving organization	Shipping from	Receiving into	Costs sent to Projects
Yes	Project Striped Inventory	Project Striped Inventory	As a Negative Charge in Shipping Organization As a Positive Charge in Receiving Organization
Yes	Common Inventory	Project Striped Inventory	As a Positive Charge in Receiving Organization
Yes	Common Inventory	Common Inventory	No costs will be send to projects as the inventory isn't striped by project
Yes	Project Striped Inventory	Project Expense Destination	As a Negative Charge in Shipping Organization As a Positive Charge in Receiving Organization
Yes	Common Inventory	Project Expense Destination	As a Positive Charge in Receiving Organization

For Project Striped Inventory issue or receipt = Inventory project details will be available on transaction

For Common Inventory issue or receipt event = Inventory project details won't be available on transaction

Tips And Considerations

• Direct intraorganization transfers will remain excluded for sending costs to project because the transaction costs gets nullified in the same period and in the same expenditure organization.
