This typically occurs when items arrive damaged, do not match the purchase order specification, or exceed the required quantity. A purchase return reduces your stock on hand and generates a vendor credit.<\/p>\n<h2>Purchase Return Workflow<\/h2>\n<p>Create a purchase return from the original vendor bill or goods received note, specifying the items and quantities to return. Once confirmed, stock decrements and a vendor credit is created. You can apply the vendor credit against a future vendor bill or request a cash refund.<\/p>\n<h2>Documentation<\/h2>\n<p>Maintain clear records of purchase returns for vendor dispute resolution and audit purposes. Note the reason for return on each record to build data on vendor quality performance over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The process in Zoho Inventory of returning goods to a vendor after receipt, reducing stock and generating a vendor credit for the returned amount.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"Purchase Return | Zoho Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"The process in Zoho Inventory of returning goods to a vendor after receipt, reducing stock and generating a vendor credit for the returned amount.","seo_keyword":"purchase return zoho inventory","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1252],"class_list":["post-4892","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-inventory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/4892","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4892"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=4892"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
