Hi All,

We ordered 2 rotating items from one of our vendors and we expected them to be sent separately, but they sent out the items as 1 unit.

Both assets have been received and are sitting in CENTRAL storeroom for the moment. We can't issue what should be the child asset to the parent asset while the parent asset is still in the storeroom. In addition to this, the invoice has already been generated and the PO closed, so we can't return the assets to revise the PO with the costing of the combined assets into 1 unit.

Aside from issuing both assets out and then moving the child onto the parent, does anyone know how we can combine these two assets?
We've played around in our test environment and when you issue out the assets and move the child into the parent, you're able to return the parent asset to CENTRAL against the original inventory usage record and the child asset follows, BUT when this is done, the inventory cost of the child asset does not return back to it's original amount before being issued, but stays at 0.00 and we're not able to account for the cost of the child asset when it is actually issued out with the parent asset.

Any help our suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
