Return purchases and reconcile supplier credits

Use a purchase return for goods sent back to a supplier. Stock and account adjustments are separate from receiving an actual refund.

Steps

1. Open the purchase receipt page in Purchase Return mode and verify supplier, warehouse and date.
2. Reference the original receipt where available, retain its product/unit/batch basis and enter the quantity actually returned.
3. Check the return direction and amount, save and approve, then inspect stock and supplier balances.
4. Record an actual supplier refund or later offset through the appropriate finance workflow; approval does not prove bank receipt.
5. Reconcile the original receipt, return and payment records against the supplier’s acknowledgment.
