When a corked wine bottle is discovered in your Inventory, there may oftentimes be a substantial time gap between when the Inventory was purchased on a Vendor Invoice and when the corked bottle(s) is opened making red-lining an invoice line item impractical.
Assume you approve a Vendor Invoice containing a case of wine on 03/01. 
You open a corked bottle from the case two months later on 05/01. Refer to the steps below on best practice for requesting a credit and removing in-stock inventory.
