If we do a shipment for a quantity of 50, and an invoice for quantity of 60 does an extra quantity of 10 get pulled out of inventory because of the invoice?

If we do a shipment for a quantity of 50, and an invoice for quantity of 60 does an extra quantity of 10 get pulled out of inventory because of the invoice?

In the Sales cycle, inventory transactions happen on the Shipment if that document is used and the Sales Invoice if the Shipment document isn't used. If you have an order for 50 and ship 50, creating an invoice for 60 does not cause an extra 10 to be removed from inventory.     This is a situation in which you may wish to consult with your accountant.
