Receivable for Inventory (REI)

Purpose

This document allows you to enter a transaction to record money owed as a result of goods issued from inventory.  It results in the generation of an Invoice or Statement to bill customers.

The Inventory Receivable Generation Chain Job creates Receivable for Inventory (REI) documents.  Each REI document references the Stock Issue Confirmation for External Customers (CIE) document that issued the inventory.  REI documents only update the External Stock Return Issue Cross Reference (SNCIXREF) table on cancellation of the document.  On cancellations of REI documents modified by the submission of a Stock Return for External Customers (SNE) document, the Invoice ID on the SNCIXREF table is cleared.

The Receivable for Inventory transaction supports the Billed Earned Revenue event type.
