Chapter 6 – Creditor Maintenance

Goods Return is used when goods received from a supplier (for which a Goods Received Note has been created) are fully or partially returned before the Purchase Invoice is received. This entry will update the outstanding Goods Received Note (so that an accurate invoice can be issued later) and the stock level.

You must create a Goods Return from an existing Goods Received Note that has not yet been invoiced.

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