Overview
A return-to-supplier document is used when previously received goods need to be sent back — due to defects, quality issues, excess delivery, or contractual reasons. After conducting, items are deducted from the warehouse and the supplier's debt is reduced accordingly.

FAQ
Does the return price have to match the receipt price?
Typically, yes. The return should be at the same price as the original receipt to correctly adjust mutual settlements.

How does this affect the supplier balance?
After conducting, the supplier's debt decreases by the return amount.
