Receiving > Return Items to a Vendor

To return items to a vendor, you should perform the receiving process in reverse.

1.	Create a purchase order or use the purchase order on which the returned item was to be received.

2.	Add the item you are returning to the purchase order. For the ordered quantity enter the amount being returned as a negative quantity.

3.	Receive the purchase order and use the Update Inv button to update your inventory.

Note: If you are using an existing purchase order to process the return, you should receive the item being returned, with BOTH the positive and negative quantities. This will keep a record that the item was received and that the item was returned. Printed purchase orders with a total item quantity of less than 0 will have the heading Return Order.

RetailEdge will track the receiving history for all items returned this way. To track returned items, you should run a detailed historical receiving report and set the report filter to show only quantities less than 0.
