Tech Note: Understanding the Inventory Acceptance Feature

The practice of inventory acceptance confirmation provides buyers the opportunity to inspect, approve, and receive delivered goods. The seller can only invoice a shipment once the customer has confirmed his or her acceptance of the delivered goods. This practice is beneficial to a business because it will lessen the incidence of sales returns and helps avoid misunderstandings relating to the delivery and receipt of goods.

Article #1326: Understanding the Inventory Acceptance Feature discusses the procedures for activating and setting up the feature. It also enumerates affected sales processes including the General Ledger entries generated from transactions.
