Processing Credits by Line of Business (MCLB)

Purpose: Use Process Credits by Line of Business to release a batch of credits for a certain line of business and dollar amount.

Note: In order to process credits by line of business, you must have authority to the Enter Return Authorization (A28), Receive Return Authorization (A29), and Credit Return Authorization (A34) secured features. If you do not have authority to one or all of these secured features, the system displays an error message.

When you process credits by line of business and dollar amount, the system selects the oldest credit associated with the line of business first, using the return entered date.

Maximum dollar amount: The system does not know the amount of the credit until the credit is created. Because of this, the system may release a dollar amount that exceeds the maximum dollar amount you specified. Once the system creates a credit that meets or exceeds the dollar amount specified, the system stops crediting, but includes the last credit that caused the dollar amount to go over.

Once the system stops crediting, the system generates the Batch Release Summary Report, which lists the orders associated with the credits released and the dollar amount of each credit.
