An A/R invoice was added to the system but an inventory transaction was NOT created. What could be the reasons?

Question

Options

• AThe invoke is based on a delivery document
• BThe items in the invoice are missing the unit of measure group
• CThe in-stock quantity of the items falls below the minimum level
• DThe customer has exceeded their credit limit

• A
  79% (48)
• B
  11% (7)
• C
  7% (4)
• D
  3% (2)

Explanation

When an A/R Invoice is created based on a delivery document, the inventory movement (goods issue) was already recorded when the delivery was posted - the invoice simply handles the financial/accounting side, so no duplicate inventory transaction is generated. Option B is wrong because a missing unit of measure group would typically prevent the document from being saved entirely, not just skip the inventory transaction. Option C is wrong because falling below minimum stock level triggers a warning notification but does not block or alter inventory transaction creation. Option D is wrong because exceeding a credit limit may prompt a warning or block approval, but if the invoice was successfully added, it has no bearing on whether inventory is updated.

Memory tip: Think "Delivery does the inventory work." The delivery document is the trigger for the goods issue - by the time you invoice from it, the warehouse has already been updated, so the system has nothing left to record.
