How to Return Goods to a Supplier

Short answer

To return goods from one purchase, open Purchases, click Actions and choose Purchase Return, then enter the Return Quantity. To return goods without a purchase, open Purchases → Purchase Returns and click Add. Stock goes down and the supplier owes you the value.

When goods go back to the supplier, damaged, expired or wrong, record a purchase return. It takes them out of your stock and records what the supplier owes you back.

Return goods from a purchase

  1. Open Purchases, click Actions on the purchase and choose Purchase Return.
  2. For each item going back, type the Return Quantity. The Return Total updates.
  3. Click Save.

Return goods without a purchase

  1. Open Purchases → Purchase Returns and click Add.
  2. Choose the Supplier and Business Location.
  3. Search for each product and enter the Quantity and Unit Price.
    The Add Purchase Return page with the Search Products box outlined
    Choose the supplier and location first, then search for each product.
  4. Click Submit.

Get your money back

When the supplier refunds you, open Customers & Suppliers → Suppliers, click Actions and choose Receive Purchase Return Due. If they give you credit instead, the return reduces what you owe them.
