How to record Inventory Theft not yet received in our warehouse (Stolen from Carrier yard)
Context - we are a Canadian company that orders stock from Texas - our Vendor shipped with the dedicated carrier (we receive bi-monthly) - the Carrier held the trailer of goods in their yard overnight to which it was stolen. The goods have not crossed soil to us. The liability falls on the carrier, not the Vendor so we still owe our supplier for these items.
Vendor has since invoiced us and we're expected to pay, but we are not able to receive the goods against the multiple Purchase Orders we have open for this shipment. It's our first scenario.. What's the best way to account for this in QB Enterprise Desktop without receiving the inventory? We would need to close these Open PO's to link to the invoice but we physically never received the inventory to write-off... Please help!
