Chapter 6 – Creditor Maintenance

Purchase Return should be used when there is a goods return (requiring physical stock movement) or a change in item price. Otherwise, if the change only affects the total amount, use an A/P Credit Note instead.

Purchase Return must transfer from an existing Purchase Invoice.

To create a Purchase Return, go to Purchase > Purchase Return > Click New to create a Purchase Return.
