Returning goods to a vendor

Fix a mistake

Situation

Received goods are faulty or excess.

Recommendation

Create a vendor return from the PO or GRN.

Why

The return inherits purchasing category and data from the source PO/GRN and cannot exceed what was received.

Steps

1. Open the related GRN (or PO).
2. Create a vendor return with lines and quantities.
3. Issue the goods back.
4. Settle the payable with the vendor.

Avoid

• Use a negative stock adjustment instead of a return.
