Inventory lost during shipping

Jan 11, 2006 2 Replies

Occasionally, when we ship product to customers, one or more pieces get lost by the shipping company. These pieces have already been billed on an invoice, but I need to send a new item to the customer. In addition, we place a claim with the shipping company and usually get reimbursed.



My questions are:


  1. How should I go about dealing with the inventory/invoicing/billing issues that arise?
  2. How should I record the reimbursment from the freight company?

Thanks for any insight.
