PO Returns

In order to Return Purchased Parts you reverse all the actions involved in creating an original Purchase Order. Think of this as "a Purchase Order in reverse." You will match every action used for a Purchase Order, except that all quantities are entered as negative, either using a minus sign or clicking the down-arrow into the negative range.

1.	Create a PO Return, identifying any Vendor return approval information and also any attached Work Order and related Warehouse information.

2. Enter the Parts to be returned, using negative values in the Quantity field.

3. Use Receive Parts function to indicate that the Vendor has acknowledged receipt of the returned parts, again using negative values.

•	If the Part came from Stock, it will be removed from the related Warehouse.

•	If the Part belonged to a Work Order, the Items Tab will contain a reversing transaction for the quantity of the Part returned.

4. Use the Vendor Bill Tab to enter the Credit Memo from the Vendor. If you use QuickBooks, the resulting Bill containing negative values will be exported as a Vendor Credit.

You will probably want to create one or more Purchase Order Types to manage Returns to Vendors.
