Amend a purchase return
Amending a purchase return can involve changes to the return details such as return address and analysis codes as well as the goods that have been recorded for return. What can be amended depends on how complete the return is. It is not possible to amend the return number, and the supplier can only be amended if there are no goods specified for the return.
Once a standard item line is marked as fully despatched/part credited, it cannot be amended. Whereas, once a text item line is marked as fully credited it can no longer be amended.
As a rule, once a return line has been credited in full or part you cannot change the price details for the item.
If you try to amend return details that can no longer be changed, warnings are displayed to explain why the details cannot be changed.
Where quantities and prices are amended the system recalculates the goods value and VAT value accordingly.
Provided the system is set to save cancelled orders, a decrease in quantity returned can be stored as a cancellation record.
