About Create Return

Updated by Cheryl Wallace

Create Return is part of the Purchasing Module. It is used to return inventory to the vendor that was previously received into stock. Each return shipment is from a single stocking point to a single vendor and a return slip can be printed to be used as a packing slip to accompany the shipment to the vendor. The return code, or reason for the return, must be specified for each item being returned.​​

Before creating a return, the vendor to whom the inventory is being returned and the appropriate return code describing the reason for the return must exist.
