Learn the step-by-step process for referencing original invoice numbers and managing mixed returns in Sage 100 for Gensco, including handling multiple PM numbers and PO numbers efficiently.

By Rose Gomez

In this guide, we'll learn how to process mixed returns in Gensco by referencing original invoice numbers and entering the details in Sage 100. We will cover how to search for the original invoice, copy the PO and invoice numbers, and handle entries with multiple PM numbers. This process helps ensure accurate record-keeping and proper handling of returns. Sage Paperless will not allow the same invoice number used twice. Sage 100 will warn you, but will allow it. It is important to reference the correct invoice number on all line items related to the credit memo.
