Overview
Automating and streamlining the current manual process of managing floor plan invoices in GFERP.
Requirements
Create one Purchase Order per Floor Plan Unit
PO Setup:
The "buy from vendor" is set as the factory (where the unit is coming from).
The "pay to vendor" is set as the floor plan company (the financing company that owns the unit temporarily).
Create an Invoice when the PO is received: after receiving the unit, an invoice is created and issued to the floor plan company.
Payables to hit a separate GL Account called Floor Plan Payables to make it easier to track floor plan payables independently from other outstanding payables.
Payment to the floor plan company is only made after the unit is sold.
Serial numbers need to appear on both the PO and Invoice.
Bulk Invoice selection: mass select invoices from a report or upload
Test Scenario

Post the WR.
Create an Invoice:
From the WR or PO, Create Invoice.
Review the Invoice
Buy-from Vendor: Factory Vendor
Pay-to Vendor: Floor Plan Company
Post the Invoice
Verify:
Ensure the payable is recorded in the Floor Plan Payables GL account by looking at the GL Entries on the PI.
Step 4: Simulate the Unit Sale and Payment
Sell the Unit:
Create a Sales Order for the "Test Unit A".
Ensure the serial number is linked to the sale.
Post the Sales Invoice:
Verify revenue, COGS, and inventory reduction.
Process the Payable:
In Accounts Payable, select the invoice created earlier.
Verify that it hits the Floor Plan Payables GL account.
Pay the Invoice:
Create a vendor payment for the Floor Plan Company.
Ensure the payable is cleared from the GL account.
