Returning Inventory

I mistakenly received the entire qty of a line item on a PO, so I entered and posted a return via the "Returns Transaction Entry" option in the Purchasing module of GP. Alter filling in the Vendor at the top, I entered the PO number, Item Number, Receipt Number, entered the qty to be returned and posted the transaction.

The line item shows that it's received in full . . .why isn't the qty I just returned available to be received?

RE: Returning Inventory

Each purchase order number has the following associated parameters;

Quantity Ordered

Quantity Received

Quantity Invoiced

Once all the quantity ordered has been received, the Purchase Order Status will change to "Closed", in addition, the PO Line item, will change to "Closed" Regardless of whether you return the "incorrectly received" quantities or not. The bottom line is, you will not be able to received on this purchase order as it has been closed.

For any further details, please never hesitate to share your inquiries.

Hope this helps,

RE: Returning Inventory

I think this is correct way. Why system should bring back your line PO Line Items once you return qty against it (PO-,Item #- Receipt Number). This way user will received qty and return it .There will be no control.

Once you received qty that line item is closed. Create new PO and receive.

Hope this help.

Thanks

If you would've checked the box to "Replace Returned Goods", the PO line would not have been closed and you could've received it again. Since you did not check this box, the line is closed and you will have to enter a new line for this item.

I do not see any "Replace Retirned Goods" check box at any point while entering the return transaction.

RE: Returning Inventory

This was a new feature in GP2010. For further details on this feature, check Mr. Frank's post What's New in GP 2010 PO Returns? Replace Returned Goods!!

As explained above, as long as the receipt is posted. You will not be able to change this setting. But you might be able to use later on.

Hope this helps,
