Hi everyone. Investigating better ways to track core returns in our DMS (CDK.) We currently use a receivables charge account through parts invoicing to bill out returns and then relieve the AR account once a credit is received. We do not have core tracking turned on.
Situation is that the core amount is attached directly to the part number of the hard part, so once the part is sold and the core is returned to us & credited, that dirty core O.H. isn't counted in the physical inventory reports but it is still on the books as part of our inventory.
We can't bill out the part number again on an AR charge invoice since it will affect the count, and in/outing the part will just be a wash and not remove anything from the books. All I can figure so far is to create and post a false part number using the cost of the core so that physical balances with the books then sell it to an invoice. Since accounting didn't receive an invoice, they shouldn't add that false p/n's cost on their end. Or, use Excel and keep track.
Happy end of month!
