Yuck.
This, Earl, is the kind of thing which really frosts my apricots.
Surely there are better ways to handle consignment sales.. If the consignee
can generate an '820', surely he can create an 867 Product Transfer and
Resale Report or an 852 Product Activity Report... or an Excel "we sold this
stuff from consigned inventory" spreadsheet.. heck, even paper receipts or a
hand-written paper journal would be better.
I truly hate to see anyone 'force-fitting' a document like this.. others see
it and say, "Hey, I want to do that, too!"....===> Double Yuck!!!
