Goods Return to Supplier
Reference Contents > Goods Receipt and Purchase History > Goods Return to Supplier
Returning items to suppliers is only possible if there is a history record for the receipt of that item. If either purchase history is not enabled in “System Preferences…”, or if the history record has been deleted in a “Period Routines…” process, the return must be accomplished using a “Stock Control…” issue.
The “Return Goods to Supplier…” function in the “Goods Inwards and History” menu is similar to the Goods Receipt from Purchase Order window. When the window opens you will be automatically asked to select an order in the Purchase History PO Selection window.
You can enter a returned quantity directly into the grid. If a return has already been made for this item it will be shown, along with the previously entered return comment. You cannot return more than was received. The comment can be added too or otherwise edited. There can be no negative return quantities. If you want the returned quantity to be re-supplied by the supplier, check on the Backorder checkbox.
NOTE: If you check the Backorder checkbox the returned item will be placed back on the Purchase Order it was originally received from. If the line item no longer exists, it will be re-created. If the original Purchase Order header, no longer exists, it will be re-created as well.
A Goods Return Note can be printed. A Return Note always includes all items and quantities for that PO returned to date, not just those returned in this session.
When you operate the Process Return and Print button, depending on options and the status of returned parts, you may be presented with the Location and Batch Assignment windows. See this topic for details of operation.
TIP: You can force the automatic creation of a Non-Conformance Report (NCR) using the system option optNCRAutoMovements. Set this option to contain the uppercase character D.

Purchase Order Kits
A PO Kit is a ‘P’hantom type part placed on a Purchase Order. As far as the supplier is concerned, it is one item. However, as far as you are concerned it is the collection of components that make up the bill of material.
When a quantity of a PO Kit is returned then the net quantity of the kit components are returned. This is not visually shown on the window, but if some of the components are serial numbered on receipt or batch tracked or multi-stock locations, they will be included in the pre-processing windows just as if they had been returned separately.
