does crediting an invoice with drop ship items without a return authorization change anything with inventory?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, crediting an invoice with drop ship items without a return authorization does not change anything with inventory. This is because items that are on drop ship orders do not affect inventory balances. Drop ship means that the item goes straight from where you ordered the items, right to the customer, not through your company's stock. However, there are scenarios where the inventory does come back. In such cases, you need to display the "Drop Shipment" checkbox on the Vendor RMA lines. For a dropship vendor return, this will default to checked. If you un-check and then fulfill, it will decrement the QTY being returned from your location. It's also worth noting that some businesses still recognize inventory asset in their GL during posting but simply reverse it out once the item has been shipped to by the vendor to your customer. This is typically done when there's a significant lag between purchasing and shipping it to the client. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
