Overview
In Order Entry, an item tied to a dropship will automatically ship when the PO is received. If you receive one by mistake, you need to reverse through ORD, since the items already shipped out. The Order RMA process even streamlines creating a Vendor RMA to return to the Vendor as well, saving time.
Prerequisite
You will need to know how to enter an Order RMA, how to enter a Vendor RMA, and pulling up Unprocessed Documents.
Create and Receive Order RMA
Create an Order RMA for the Item(s) to return
Use Credit Type if you are cancelling
Use Exchange if you will ship out later
Query the RMA to Receive
Make sure to enter Vendor in VRMA Vendor field
Only enter Qty to Credit if you Invoiced
Process Receipt
When it is received, it will tell you the unprocessed VRMA number. This wouldn’t have happened if you skipped step 2a.
Create/Edit and Process VRMA for Dropship PO
Now we need to edit the VRMA. If you didn’t do Step 2a above, then you will need to enter one from scratch.

Accounting for RMA’s - A/R and A/P
