Vendor Returns

I know how to do the 'Return To Vendor' process to take care of the Accounting in Sage500,  but HOW do you create shipping

documents to actually ship the Items back to the Vendor in Sage? 

I noticed that there was a similar question posted here 7 years ago -- has anything been done to address this issue?

Currently our Company created a 'RETURN TO VENDOR'  Customer account and actually enters a Sales Order, ships the product out

of the 'DEFECTIVE' warehouse (which updates our onhand properly),  Invoices it and then does an AR/AP application to offset the AR to the AP accounts..

This is REALLY not a good way to handle this (says our Accountants) because it overstates our Sales numbers...

Does anyone have a better way to do a 'SHIPMENT RETURN TO VENDOR"  properly?
