B7.3 item ledger direct ship

[deblk]

We have items defined as direct ship items-do not pass through our warehouse but go directly from factory/supplier to the customer. Our controller believes there is a system set up that defines whether or not these items "pass through" the 41021 and 4111 tables. I could not find anything to confirm or deny---Is there something I am missing? Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

I did also experience the same "issue":
apparently "inventory interface D" (see IVI field within P40205 Line Type setup) has been indeed designed in order not to book F4111 / F41021 tables.
I'm not aware about any chance to change it via standard setup.

Even if JDE approach complies with real goods movements (it's a "direct shipment" and our warehouse is not reached by any item included in an SD/OD transaction), some Auditors do not like it at all.

We can identify at least two issues:
1. Inventory Legal Book
there could be the need to print incoming and outgoing inventory transaction for Statutory / Legal constraints.

2. Period-End Weighted Average cost calculation
Period-End WAC calculation should be impacted by direct ship transactions since they are part of "incoming" (inventory layers) transactions.

Kind regards,
