Greetings! This week I wanted to share with you all a lesser known feature added to RetailEdge 8.2.53, the new Return Button.
This feature was requested by many of our users looking for a way to quickly select items from a previous sale to return. This features a screen where you can select specific items and quantities from a ticket. This will also loads the pricing of the items from the original sale, reducing the time it can take to modify the prices of items.
The steps are as follows:
Open The Sales Manager #

Locate the Original Sales Ticket #
Locate the ticket with the items the customer is looking to return.
You can use the Find button or press F4 on your keyboard and type in the ticket or scan the barcode on the bottom of the sales receipt. Then select the Return Button located on the right hand side of the Sales Manager Screen:

Select The Items Being Returned #
On the Return Sale Window, select the items that you would like to return.
Note: If you want to return all items on the sale then select the All button on the Right hand side. (Boxed in Orange)

Once you Select the items from the sale that you would like to return Select Ok.

Complete the transaction! #
This will open the Sales Screen with the items selected, loaded and ready to return.
