You can use the Applies-from Entry field on the Item Journal page to create a fixed application between an inbound transaction and the original outbound transaction. For example, to correct the outbound transaction or to process its return. For more information, see Applies-from Entry.
Fixed applications made in this manner only apply the cost, not the quantity. Accordingly, the posted positive item ledger entry will not close the applied outbound entry and will itself remain open. This also applies when you post a fixed application for a positive entry to a negative entry that has not been closed by a regular positive entry, then both the negative and the positive entries will remain open.
This also means that you cannot close an inventory period if such an entry exists.
The following procedure shows how to close such entries by performing two corrective postings in the item journal.
Remove and Reapply Item Ledger Entries
Process Sales Returns and Cancellations
