Return transaction



Hi again,

I'm trying to process a customer returning a product to us for a refund, via a Sales Invoice. Accounting is telling me our General Ledger comes out wrong when I do it this way. Could anyone suggest a method for obtaining the desired results?

Sales Invoice (input):

Record in: 4012--Returns
Item 1 part number: 7634950
Item 1 description: Photo album
Item 1 qty: -1
Item 1 unit: 1
Item 1 price: 16.00
Item 1 extended: -16.00
Item 1 inventory account: 1510--Inventory *
Item 1 income account: 4010--Sales *
Item 1 expense account: 5010--Purchases *

* these are hidden fields I got from the generated HTML source, but I thought they might be relevant.

General Ledger (output):

1) Credit $11.25 to 1510--Inventory [should be 5010]
2) Debit $16.00 from 4010--Sales [invalid]
3) Debit $16.00 from 4012--Returns [invalid]
4) Credit $16.00 to 4012--Returns [correct]
5) Debit $11.25 from 5010--Purchases [should be 1510]

Notes:
- (3) and (4) cancel each other out; (4) is desired but (3) is not.
- (1) and (5) are currently what happens during a sale, but they should be reversed since this is a return.
- (2) should not occur since there is no sale.

I'd rather not input the GL entries directly, since an invoice gives us the detail about what was returned, etc. Any ideas?
