About Inventory Returns

Updated by Cheryl Wallace

Inventory Returns is part of the Purchasing module. This feature is used review returns of goods or inventory to the vendor generated using Create Return. Each return shipment of inventory that was previously received into stock is from a single stocking point to a single vendor. An optional 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.​​

  • Any bulk or consumable inventory is removed from stock with an inventory adjustment.
  • Any serialized inventory is retired with the specified status.

Use page to view past returns or quickly print a return slip for a specific return.

Once an inventory return is created, it cannot be cancelled or deleted. Inventory can be put back in stock however. For serialized items, reinstate the retired item. For non-serialized inventory, create an inventory adjustment.
