It has been my experience to place the entry as close to the actual personnel who are executing the actual physical movement.  Reduces missed translations the best way.

Posting on the other hand needs to be done by personnel which a complete understanding of the actual requirements of the system for the transaction.

the titles of the personnel vary widely , company to company,  Stick as close to the above criteria will yield best results.

At least in my Not too Humble opinion!

It depends on the company, typically it is limited to a small number of people that understand and the implications in terms of cost and accuracy. Also, it depends whether or not you are using NAV’s warehouse management. If you are using warehouse management (and warehouse worksheets), then it is often the Finance team that posts the Item Journal since it has a financial impact. If you are not using Warehouse Worksheets, then it is usually Finance.

Titles are dependant on the size of the organization; therefore, the title of the person posting the item Journal is different based for a small versus large company.

 You need to look at your org structure to see where the function fits best for your company for proper internal controls.  I would also suggest an inventory adjustment request form is used and manager(s) sign off to ensure the proper vetting is used to understand why the adjustments are required and challenged if needed as well as addressing any costing issues that may be involved.

This is what we do.  There are two associates (one in the warehouse/logistics and one in planning/inbound scheduling) who have access to do inventory adjustments.   Adjustments over a certain value require a sign-off from one of our financial analysts.

Typically if you don’t have WMS turned on, it’s the inventory manager.

If you have WMS turned on with directed pick and put-away. It will be the financial controller or accounting manager.
