Impact of Purchase Returns
A purchase return has two effects: it reduces your stock for the returned items, and it creates a receivable from the supplier (reducing what you owe them). The supplier's balance is updated automatically.
Tip:For GST purposes, create a Debit Note after processing the purchase return to adjust the tax.
