Returns from Dispatched Sales
Provision is made in the system for you to record a customer return of goods supplied under a Sales Order. The Sales Return procedure automatically generates Credit Notes. Sales History must exist for the item. Thus, if the System Preferences control has been set with sales history OFF, the Sales Return procedure can not be used. In cases where the automated return system can not be used, direct Stock Control movements are required and a Credit Note, if any, must be prepared in the Ledgers A/R function or by hand.
Complex options are available, including the addition of non-part and non-stock parts to the Credit Note. In addition, you can reduce the quantity returned to stock, adjust the price or discount of the items, return with no credit note and create purchase or work history to feed back into costings stock returned from customers at a reduced price.
After selecting a Dispatch Note the line items will be listed. You can build a list of those returned by dragging lines from the item list and dropping them on the returns list below. You can alter the line item quantity of return in the list itself. Click on the line and in the quantity column and pause the mouse. You will then be able to edit the quantity.
NOTE: There are some restrictions: Quantity returned can not be greater than the dispatched quantity. If multiple part dispatches took place, a separate line for each dispatch is needed if the entire order quantity was returned. The list can only cover items returned from one customer at a time. The value of returns is assumed to be that of the original dispatch. Returned kits can only be complete kits and the Bill of Material must be unchanged from the time of dispatch.
TIP: You can force the automatic creation of a Non-Conformance Report (NCR) even when the return is not quarantined using the system option optNCRAutoMovements. Set this option to contain the uppercase character B.
