Purchase returns and exchange

Return goods to a supplier or run an exchange (return + replacement receipt) from one original receipt.

  1. Step 1

    Create a purchase return

    Trading → Purchase Returns → Create. Select the original receipt, enter return quantities per line (cannot exceed remaining returnable qty), and a reason.

    What happens on save

    Stock decreases, supplier AP is credited by the return total, and the receipt line tracks returned quantity for future returns.
