Customer Returns Detail

Access this form using Activities>Accounts Receivable>Customer Returns>Double-click any cell on the Summary Level>Customer Returns Detail.

Use this form to return line items or orders from a sales order to the original vendor. You must enter a Return Number, Return Date, Quantity To Return, and click Commit to return the items.

 

Return Information

  • Return Number: Enter a unique customer return number or accept the number that the system assigned. When creating a new return, the system displays the next available customer return number; you can also accomplish this by pressing the + key. (Customer return number options were set up using Organization>Set Up Modules>Accounts Receivable>Sales Order.) We recommend limiting your entry to strictly alphabetic characters (A through Z) or numeric characters (0 through 9), and avoiding the use of symbols.
  • Return Date: Accept the default date or enter a date specific to the document. Future dates are not accepted.
  • Returned By: Enter the name of the person who is entering the return.
  • Comments: Enter any optional comments related to the entire order. These comments appear on the printed Customer Return Ticket and the Sales Order Register report (Reports>Accounts Receivable>Sales Order Register).

Table

  • Charge Code: The system displays the charge code entered on the Activities>Accounts Receivable>Enter Orders>Detail tab.
  • Charge Code Description: The system displays the charge code description.
  • Quantity To Return: Enter the quantity being returned.
  • Ordered: The system displays the quantity ordered.
  • Fulfilled: The system displays the quantity that has been fulfilled.

  • If part of the order is fulfilled and you are using Sales Order Fulfillment to view the order, the returned item does not display in the table. Also, it has no affect on how much is left to fulfill on the Sales Order Fulfillment form.
  • For Customer Returns that were originally a Cash Sale, you must record a transaction manually into the system. Consider entering a cash disbursement using Transactions>Enter Cash Disbursements to record your cash and revenue accounts.
  • If you need to refill a returned order, you must enter a new Sales Order (Activities>Accounts Receivable>Enter Orders).
