General posting setup for purchases and purchase returns

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 5

We currently have our purchase receipts posting to an account for received not invoiced that clears once the purchase invoice is created but I would like to know if there is a way to direct purchase return shipments to a different account than the received not invoiced?

There can be a few months before we get a credit or replacement for purchase returns and it makes balancing the received not invoiced account hard.

    Hello,

    When creating a Document Purchase Return Order, when you Post Ship (since you are returning the Item to the Vendor), normal practice dictates you will post the Invoice to apply to the Vendors account. This value will appear in the Shipped Not Invoiced column of the Inventory to G/L Reconciliation report. You might run this report.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    It does not look like there is a separate setup for temporary inventory for returns. But maybe you can add a dimension to the return transactions so it will be easier to reconcile them ?
