Returning Damaged stock to Supplier
When we buy a product, we buy by carton and number of units will be 10, but when some of the units are damaged I need to issue credit request, then when I raise a new Purchase Invoice, enter the quantity as a negative, system tend to take whole carton, how can I do the returns only for the damaged units? For example came 10 cartons, (10x10 = 100Units), one carton damaged, opened and check, only 4 pks are damaged and need to request for credit for 4 packs and remove it from inventory. But when I put -4, the stock it picks as -40. How to do this please. Thanks
Hi GopalaAP
My methodology will only work if your description is correct on how you enter your stock.
If I read correctly
1 carton = 10 units
1 carton = $80 i.e. 1 unit = $8
Take it from another angle - you order 1 carton and you get by mistake 1 unit how would you enter that.
According to my understanding of your setup you would enter this order as
0.1 cartons received = $8
So if you received 4 units (i.e. 4/10ths) of a carton - you received 0.4 cartons.
You then note ALL of these are damaged and you return them.
The credit would be -0.4 x 1 carton = - $32
If this isn't happening then your inventory isn't how you are describing I suspect.
Just being The Devil's Advocate - sorry.
