What is the commitment of going live?
This is the same as going live for A/R invoice posting plus you must perform a
month end update for inventory as well. This process clears out all month-to-date
inventory figures. You must also maintain the costs and prices of the items. This
is done either through
non-P.O. receipts. If you use the receiving system, you can also create invoices in
A/P and write checks (see Accounts Payable). Even though you will not be
controlling quantities, sales will reduce stock and receipts will increase stock.
These quantities will be meaningless until you take a physical count.
