If a subject has temporarily given you goods (for example, commercial samples),
you will not post this receipt in the general ledger, but among off-balance-sheet
items.
Example: Your company has received a sample of commercial goods from
Supplier & Sons for 14 days.
The goods remain the property of the supplier, and are not intended for
further sale (for the sale of goods that remain the property of the supplier see
Consignment Goods - Type C).
Record the goods you've received for temporary use as an internal receipt.
1. Receiving Goods on Trial
Enter an internal receipt using document type 1E0 -
Receive Goods on Trial.
The supplier's price is not important in this type of document (is only
informative), and the off-the-balance-sheet items will be valued by the
valuation value from the automatic posting of material
consumption.
2. Viewing Goods Received on Trial that have not been Returned to the
Supplier
Information about received and as yet unreturned goods from transactions of
this type can be found using a
Material Movments Report. Restrict the report to (predefined)
document types 1E0 and 3E0.
3. Returning Goods on Trial
The return of goods on
trial can be easily recorded by reversing the receipt of goods on trial (predefined
document type 1E1 - Return of Goods on Trial, where
the issued, that is, returned quantities will be entered. Of course, you can
also use the same document type you used for the receipt, but for the sake of
clarity it's better to keep receipts and returns separated.
You can also make work easier by using the
Add Movement function. In order to prevent the repeated return of issued goods, also select
Not Added for this DT in the Add box.
