Re: factory returns - how to hit GL

Suzi

I have 2 suggestions.

One way to handle the situation you describe is to create a DRP order that
moves the items from your DC to the factory. In this way your picking
paperwork generated but there is no invoice so no AR.

If you don't have DRP, try using the same customer for shipments to the
factory. Create AFI rules so that shipments to the factory "customer" go to
accounts that could be cleared out as part of your period end close. In this
way you would have a known set of accounts to adjust.

Good luck.
