Credit Memos - Vendor Ledger Entry

bluerock

In Purchase>Order processing, I do a posting for 'Credit Memos' for returning one item to vendor.

Sometimes, one record will be inserted into 'Vendor Ledger Entry' with "Closed By Entry No." = Parent entry no. after the posting. Sometime, no record will be inserted...

Does anyone know why?
Thank You.

It is updated when u apply ur Credit memo against ur Invoice or vice versa. In case of these entries as initial entries this will be blank.

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, it should be updated... but after i check throughout the code, sometimes it will not be updated in some situation.

1) Can anyone tell me what is the purpose of this field "Closed By Entry No."?
2) When should i assign value to it? or when it should be zero value?

Thank you.

U don't update it, system does the update and if u want to see when,. Create two invoices, and create one credit memo by using copy document functionality (copy one of the invoices u created just now) and other credit memo just as an independent document. And then see the vendor ledger entry u will get the answer.
