'To Location' of Internal shipment for consumed inventory?

[Khurram Shahzad]

Dear All,

We want to issue various items from our warehouse to our Pathology Lab. These items will be consumed while performing laboratory tests for patients.

We are planning to use 'Internal Shipment' module for issuing stock items. What should be the type of location which should be used as 'To Location' for this internal shipment?

Currently, locations of only two types can appear in 'To Location':

1. Storage

2. Lost and Found

Both of these location types seem unsuitable for such internal shipment. I think a location of type 'Customer' will fit in this scenario. Our finance department will finally record the cost of these items as expense of Pathology department.

If I understand correctly you just want those products to be
"consumed" so maybe you can use productions. Another possibility may
be to create single stock moves or create a specific document for
that.

For me this locations are the ones required. You just have to create a
Pathology Lab location of type storage in order to know the inventory of
the lab.

Every time you send items from your warehouse you should create an
internal shipment from the warehouse location (or where you storage the
item) to the Pathology Lab location.

In order to consume the stock, you should create a internal shipment
from the Pathology Lab to the Lost and found location A new lost and
found location can be used if you want to track the items consumed only
on labs.

Note that you can also create the consumed moves by using an inventory.

Hope it helps.

The idea is good but only that small amount of inventory is issued to Pathology department which they will consume straight away and we don't want to track the inventory of the lab.

In order to consume the stock, you should create a internal shipment from the Pathology Lab to the Lost and found location A new lost and found location can be used if you want to track the items consumed only on labs.
 

Technically, is it logical to destine an in inventory item to 'Lost and found' location which is actually 'Consumed'?

Note that you can also create the consumed moves by using an inventory.

Can it be done after making and internal shipment from 'warehouse' to 'pathology'  department in order to record consumption?
 

Hope it helps.

So if this is consumed directly you should sent directly to the lost and
found location :)

Indeed, you should create a 'Consumed on Labs' location of type 'Lost
and Found' and then you can use the product by locations view to see the
consumed products up to a date.

Yes, you can use it to record consumption because the target location is
always of type 'Lost and Found'. The important fact is that the location
of the inventory must be where the products are stored before consumption.

Hello,

I have the same situation and created a new lost and found location, the problem I have is that the internal shipments to this location create accounting moves to the same account of the lost and found account.

How can I configure a different account for this location?

Thanks,
Eduardo J. de la Garza G.

This is not possible with current code as the account depends on the
product, but it can be easy extended to read the configuration from the
location thanks to the _used functions.

Hope it helps,
