Cancel the invoice

Create a credit invoice

Create a reverse invoice

Cancel the associated purchase order

To correct the invoice for the defective item that was returned to the vendor, creating a reverse invoice is the appropriate process.

61. A storeroom clerk is processing items to be shipped to various locations. In the Inventory Usage application, while processing one of these items, the Split Usage Quantity dialog is displayed and the clerk selects the Auto-Split option. What is validated?

A rotating item is requested and the quantity is more than one

The inventory balance for the item is greater than the ordered quantity

A lotted item with the same quantity has been selected on another usage line.

The quantity in a storage bin already meets the required quantity on the Inventory Usage line.

When the storeroom clerk selects the Auto-Split option in the Split Usage Quantity dialog, the system validates whether a lotted item with the same quantity has already been selected on another usage line. This means that if the clerk is processing an item that has already been allocated to another location with the same quantity, the system will recognize this and prevent the item from being split again. This validation ensures that the same lotted item is not allocated to multiple locations, avoiding potential inventory discrepancies.
