ERPNext Purchase
What is Purchase Return?
- Purchase Return
- A Purchase Return in ERPNext records goods returned to a supplier, reversing stock additions and creating a Debit Note against the supplier's payable balance.
Processing a Purchase Return
Open the original Purchase Receipt and click "Create Return". Enter returned quantities. ERPNext deducts the returned items from the warehouse and creates a Debit Note against the supplier. The supplier's AP balance reduces automatically.
Partial Returns and Replacement
You can return a partial quantity from a Purchase Receipt. If the supplier sends replacements, create a new Purchase Receipt referencing the same PO. ERPNext tracks original receipt, return, and replacement documents as a linked chain for full traceability.
