    Customer enters a Receipt of Goods with Landed Costs....then needs to complete a Return of Goods.
    Does the landed cost amount need to be adjusted through a journal entry to reduce the inventory and purchase clearing account?????

    I don't believe a journal entry is needed.  Enter the return of goods and be sure the cost is the same as the receipt of goods landed cost.   The cost will depend on the inventory valuation method.  If the valuation method is ave cost then the return should have the ave cost.  If it is lot or serial then the return should have the landed cost of the lot or serial of the original lot or serial number received.  For FIFO or LIFO the return ist going to take  the original tier so you have to adjust the cost to the landed cost  in return of goods entry.

    It looks like with FIFO and LIFO the inventory is reduced by the landed cost amount on the return.  No need for a journal entry,  The DTR reflects the correct inventory reduction.

    Well if the PO cost was $100 and landed freight was $5, then inventory should be relieved for $105.  The big question is whether purchases clearing will show $100 and landed cost offset show $5.  Not sure if Sage is that tightly written based on prior experience.  Would love to be pleasantly surprised.

    Here's what looks like happens if the $5 LC is freight:

    Receipt Of Goods
    Debit Inventory $105 
    Credit Purchases clearing $100 
    Credit Freight $5 (defined in landed cost maintenance).

    Return of Goods
    Debit Purchases clearing $100
    Debit PO Variance adjustment (defined in product line maintenance) $5
    Credit Inventory $105

    Summary - overall the inventory and the costs results in correct inventory and correct GP... HOWEVER, you MAY need / want to reclassify the  amount in PO Variance Adjustment to the Freight account.  The freight account is defined in landed cost maintenance and the PO variance account is defined in product line maintenance.  Technically, Sage should have coded the program to get the GL account on the return of goods from landec cost maintenance not from product line maintenance.
