When a Credit Claim is completed for a stock receipt, the stock must be updated and if 'Credit AP Immediately' is set to  'yes'  then a credit is generated in Accounts Payable.  On selection of the 'Release Claim' option the following screen appears, similar to the existing 'Return To Supplier Screen'.  -------- Release Claim -------- ¦ ¦ ¦   Processed   by :   warren ¦ ¦ Docket/Invoice No. : ¦<-Defaults to Claim Approval No. ¦ Docket/Inv. Amount : 0.00 ¦ but if not entered defaults to ¦ Close Incomplete ? : No¦ Claim No. Not Updateable. ¦ PDE Receipt ?: No¦ ¦ Shelf Labels ?: No¦ ¦ Product Labels ? : No¦ ¦   Stock Receipt   Rpt?   :   No¦ ¦   Date   Received :   12/09/01   ¦ ¦ ¦  ¦   Print   Claim ?:   yes |<-Defaults   to   'yes' ¦ ¦ -------------------------------- If 'Credit AP immediately' was set to  'yes'  when generating the claim, then an additional message  appears.  'AccountsPayablewillbeupdatedimmediately'    After completing the entry of this screen the stock is updated if a return type of reason code and a credit is generated immediately in Accounts Payable if 'Credit AP immediately' is set to  'yes'  for the value of the goods. This credit is flagged as 'To Pay' and shares the same date as the Creditors Claim. If a payment selection were therefore done on the same day including that day, it would include the credit that was just produced.    Note:  The 'Docket/Invoice No.' should be identical to the claim unless there is an existing A/P Invoice with this same number. If an identical invoice is found then the 'Docket/Invoice No.' for the claim is suffixed with a two character alpha code, For example: 00000060aa.    At this point the credit claim is printed if the option to print was selected. Refer to ' Printing Credit Claims ' for more detail.
