Overview 

In QuickEasy BOS Professional, inventory items are referred to as Materials. During the production process materials can be purchased, converted to finished goods, and sold. When goods are produced, there may be materials left over. It is also possible that a customer returns some goods. In both cases, these materials are returned to inventory using a Materials Movement (Return). 

These tutorials explain the various ways to return materials to inventory.

Navigation: Main Menu > Materials > Materials Movement

⚠️ For the transaction to be recorded the material item must be setup as an inventory item (i.e. it must have a location). 

The location, quantity and unit price must be filled in.
