Review a supplier return's stock and payable effects without assuming a dedicated return action exists.
Step by step
- 1Open the original supplier bill and inspect its recorded quantities, payment state and supporting documents.
- 2Agree the return and supplier credit details before changing inventory or outstanding balances.
- 3Check the available authorised stock-correction and accounting processes with your accountant.
- 4Retain the supplier credit note and return evidence as supporting records, and reconcile the resulting stock and payable balances.
The current ERP navigation does not expose a dedicated purchase-return screen or a general Create Return action on bills. Do not use sales returns for supplier returns or assume stock and A/P will reverse automatically.
