Display-only. |
|
The vendor who shipped you the merchandise that is now being charged back. The invoice vendor may differ from the Chg vendor. The invoice vendor is the “primary” vendor for the charge back; that is, it is the invoice vendor's name and/or number that appears on screens. Vendor numbers are defined in and validated against the Vendor table. Numeric, 7 positions; required. |
|
Create date |
The date you enter the vendor charge back. Numeric, 6 positions (MM/DD/YY format); display-only. |
The vendor against whom you are creating the A/P credit as a result of processing the charge back. You might select a charge vendor who is different from the Inv vendor (invoice vendor) if, for instance, the Invoice vendor has been acquired by a different company. It is the Charge vendor whose name and address appear on the charge back notification. Unless you override it, the Invoice vendor defaults. Numeric, 7 positions; required. |
|
Last update |
The date of the last change you made to the charge back. Numeric, 6 positions (MM/DD/YY format); display-only. |

|
Add chg tot (additional charge total) |
The total amount of additional charges included in the charge back credit. See Vendor Charge Back Additional Charges Screen. Numeric, 9 positions with a 2-place decimal; display-only. |
Total |
The total amount of the charge back credit, including all merchandise and additional charges. Numeric, 9 positions with a 2-place decimal; display-only, updated by the system. |
Item |
The item being returned to the vendor and/or charged back. Item codes are defined in and validated against the Item table. Alphanumeric, 12 positions; required. |
SKU |
The item's additional characteristics, such as its color and size. The SKU descriptions and format are defined in the System Control table. Alphanumeric, three 4-position fields; required if the item has SKUs. |
The quantity of the item to be charged back. Numeric, 9 positions; required. |
|
The unit cost of the item to be charged back. The item unit cost from the last purchase order on which you received the item (from any vendor) defaults, but you can override it. Access to this field is controlled by the VCB Cost Maintenance (A42) secured feature. If you use FIFO costing This field is display-only if the Costing Method (A25) field in the System Control table is set to FIFO. The system determines the cost for an item by selecting one or more FIFO cost layers. See About FIFO Costing. Numeric, 11 positions with a 4-place decimal; required. |
|
The warehouse from which you are transferring or adjusting the item for the charge back. Warehouse codes are defined in and validated against the Warehouse table. Numeric, 3 positions; required. |
|
The location from which you are transferring or adjusting the item for charge back. The system validates that there is a record of the item in this warehouse and location; however, the system does not validate the quantity or availability of the item in the location, whether the location is frozen, etc. You create an inventory transaction error if there is not a sufficient quantity of the item in the location to fulfill the charge back. Location codes are defined in and validated against the Location table. Alphanumeric, 7 positions; required. |
|
The warehouse where the item is to move when you process the inventory transaction for the charge back. The VCB Default "To" Warehouse (D86) from the System Control table defaults here, but you can override it. If you do not specify a “To” warehouse and location, the system performs a return to vendor inventory transaction (as opposed to a transfer) when you process the charge back. See Vendor Charge Back Overview, for information on how the VCB Perform Inventory Write Off During A/P Posting (E36) system control value affects how the system handles inventory transactions, depending on whether you specify a “to” warehouse and location. Numeric, 3 positions; optional. |
|
The location where the item is to move when you process the inventory transaction for the charge back. The value in the VCB Default "To" Location (D87) field in the System Control table defaults here, but you can override it. Location codes are defined in and validated against the Location table. See the description of the To whs (To warehouse) field. Alphanumeric, 7 positions; required if you specify a To warehouse. |
Instructions:
1. Complete the Inv vendor (invoice vendor) and Reason code fields. Optionally, complete the Purchase order number, Chg vendor, Ship date, or RA # fields.
2. Enter each item/SKU you are charging back, completing the Qty (Quantity), From whs (From warehouse), and From location fields. Optionally, complete the Cost field; also, override the To whs (To warehouse) and To location fields.
3. Select Accept to accept. See Accept a Vendor Charge Back.
If the Costing Method (A25) field in the System Control table is set to FIFO, you cannot enter a cost for an item on a vendor charge back. Instead, the system uses the standard FIFO costing hierarchy to determine the cost of each item you enter. The standard FIFO hierarchy allows you to determine the cost of each unit of an item separately, based on its original cost at receipt; a quantity of an item with the same unit cost is called a FIFO layer. The FIFO hierarchy is described in detail under FIFO Costing Overview.
If more than one cost layer: If you are charging back a quantity of an item that is greater than that of the next available FIFO layer in the hierarchy, the system “explodes” the item onto separate vendor charge back detail lines, each with the cost and quantity from a FIFO cost layer.
For example, item AB100 has the following FIFO cost layers in warehouse 1:
Cost |
Quantity |
Date |
10.00 |
5 |
1/1/06 |
8.00 |
2 |
2/1/06 |
5.00 |
10 |
3/1/06 |
You enter a vendor charge back for 10 units of the item from warehouse 1. The system “explodes” the item on the charge back into the three following lines:
Quantity |
Cost |
5 |
@ $10.00 |
2 |
@ $8.00 |
3 |
@ $5.00 |
If you process the vendor charge back, this transaction will exhaust the first two FIFO cost layers, and leave a quantity of 7 in the third.
Additional considerations for FIFO costing: You should be aware of these considerations related to vendor charge backs if you use FIFO costing:
Item activity during charge back entry: Activity related to the item, such as sales or purchase order receipts, will change the cost structure on the charge back if this activity takes place during charge back entry.
For example, if an operator processes a customer return while you are creating a vendor charge back for item AB100, this return can change the cost of the item on the charge back. If the return was for 5 units at a cost of $9.00, with a FIFO layer date of 1/15 (based on the FIFO cost layer used when the order was originally shipped), the item on the vendor charge back would now “explode” as follows:
Quantity |
Cost |
5 |
@ $10.00 |
5 |
@ $9.00 |
The layer dated 1/15 would come before the 2/1 and 3/1 layers in the FIFO hierarchy.
To view current cost layers: The system refreshes the vendor charge back detail lines each time you select OK. The actual cost and FIFO layer update takes place when you process the inventory update for the vendor charge back.
If you specify a purchase order number: The system selects FIFO layers for the item and warehouse that are associated with the purchase order number you enter for the charge back.
Warehouse vs. location: The system validates that you have sufficient inventory on-hand in the “from” location when you add an item to a charge back. However, FIFO cost layers are associated with the item and warehouse, not the specific location.
For example, on 1/1 you receive 10 units of item CD100 at a unit cost of $10.00, and store them in location A010101. This is the first receipt of the item into warehouse 1. On 2/1, you receive 10 units of the item at a unit cost of $12.00, and store these units in BULK. On 3/1, you enter a vendor charge back for 10 units of the item. The system uses the cost from the first FIFO layer, even if you enter a “from” location of BULK.
Changing item quantity after entry: To avoid confusion, it is recommended that you do not change the quantity of a vendor charge back detail line if you use FIFO costing. Instead, you should reject the charge back and re-enter it.
If insufficient quantity: The system displays an error message if there is not a sufficient quantity on-hand in open FIFO layers to match the item quantity you entered (or if there is not a sufficient quantity in FIFO layers associated with the purchase order number you entered):
Not enough on hand in the FIFO Layer.
This message indicates that there is an insufficient quantity on-hand for all eligible FIFO layers. The item and the warehouse are highlighted as well. The system will not attempt to “explode” the item into separate lines until you reduce the quantity appropriately.
Reversals: Vendor charge back reversals do not use the standard FIFO hierarchy to determine cost. Instead, reversals use the original cost(s) from the charge back. The new FIFO layers created through the reversal will use the original costs.
More information: See FIFO Costing Overview for more information on FIFO costing.
Options in change mode: If you advanced to the Vendor Charge Back Detail screen by selecting Change for a charge back at the Work with Vendor Charge Backs Screen (Select a Vendor Charge Back), the changes you will be able to make depend upon the status of the charge back.
• If the charge back is open (O), you will be able to change any of the fields that were enterable when you created the charge back. The exception is that you will not be able to change or delete an item if you have already processed the related inventory transaction. Additionally, all of the function keys at the bottom of the screen will be accessible (except for Reverse to reverse, which is never accessible for an open vendor charge back).
• If the charge back is processed (P) or shipped (S), you will be able to enter or change only the Ship date and RA number fields. Additionally, you will be able to use Add Charges only to review additional charges, not to change them, and Delete to delete the charge back will not be accessible; however, each of the other function keys will be accessible.
• If the charge back is reversed (R), you will not be able to change any of the information that displays on the screen. Additionally, only these function keys will display on the bottom of the screen:

Reverse Vendor Charge Back Window
Purpose: If it is necessary to reverse a processed or shipped vendor charge back, you can do so if you have proper authority. Reversing a vendor charge back results in backing out inventory transactions and creating an A/P invoice to back out the A/P credit.
How to display this screen: The Reverse Vendor Charge Back pop-up window displays when you select Reverse at the Vendor Charge Back Detail Screen (Create A Vendor Charge Back) for a processed or shipped charge back.
Note: You must have authority to reverse a vendor charge back to display this pop-up window, as controlled by the VCB Reverse Authority (A44) secured feature.
Reversal invoice: The Reversal invoice field allows you to specify the A/P invoice code or number to create as a result of the reversal. If the VCB Reverse A/P Invoice Number Default Method (E35) field in the System Control table is set to VCBNUM, the system defaults the vendor charge back number with a “DR” appended; for example, for vendor charge back number 333, invoice number 000000333DR would default. You can override any default. This is an 11-position, alphanumeric field, and it is required.
To complete: Select OK at this pop-up window to process the reverse and display the Confirm Reverse VCB pop-up window:
Select OK to confirm.
See Vendor Charge Back Overview, for information on how the system handles the inventory transaction for a reverse, depending on whether you used a “to” warehouse and location.
If you use FIFO costing: Vendor charge back reversals do not use the standard FIFO hierarchy to determine cost. Instead, reversals use the original cost(s) from the charge back. See About FIFO Costing.
