Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • A scheduled cycle is not necessarily fully served. Check shipped and invoiced quantities separately.
  • A received payment can remain unapplied. Review the payment application before treating an invoice as settled.
  • A damaged item may need both a return record and a credit review. Preserve the link to the original shipped item.
