billing items in inventory that are consignment

[hec]

so we have the barcode set up to scan the frames onto the invoices. once the frame barcode is scanned it remove the frame from our inventory.

is there a way to set it up so that some frames are not removed from inventory when scanned into the invitees because some if my frames are consignment where I don't necessarily sell what's in my inventory but just order the frame from the manufacturer

Sorry, I must have missed this one. The way to do this is to actually sell the item and remove it from your "inventory". It will take your inventory to a negative status, but when the frame comes in you scan it into your inventory, which will zero out the quantity.

that's the way we do it now but was wondering if there was an easier way or for example we sell a the frame in a different color that we don't carry in inventory

I am not aware of another method, but hopefully one of the other offices will chime in if they have a different process.

how do we put a frame on the invoice if its not a frame that we carry on inventory. for example we have a frame in stok but we need to order it in a different color. do we have to create a new frame before we can put it on our invoice to bill patient?

[hec]

any answers?

I would say yes, you need to add it to your inventory, otherwise you have no way to track it for EOY reporting. The only other option is to sell it with the wrong description and remember what UPC you used when you add it in.
