The RMA Reciepts and Inventory Valuation (FIFO) for the Returned Items

I have a client that has a very heavy use the RMA Module (they are basically in the business of handling their parent’s – the original manufacturer- first year warranty items.  They also have a substantial inventory qty of returned items under warranty and amounts.  They age their inventory based on the FIFO tier values (IM3XXX).  When an RMA is receipted to any of their warehouses (via the credit memo update) there is no receipt date in IM3XXX for this transaction. (The receipt date is recoded as blank and the receipt number is labeled as “ODERDIST”).   I was hoping that the 4.40 version would not act the same way.  Unfortunately, it does.  Does anyone know a solution for their dilemma?  The objective is that when they print their inventory valuation report, they see a Receipt Date for the returned items from their customer and preferably, the credit memo number for “Receipt No.” fields.

Are they applying the RMA against an invoice number or do they not handle the original invoice since it is from the parent?

Your guess is correct.  They are not using the invoice # field in the RMA Entry.

BTW:  I have tried this in ACB at version4 with and without invoice #.  It does not make any difference!
