    • Select the item from the Item lookup above the Items grid view

Goods Return (GR)

When a Customer Credit Note is completed (The Status is set to Complete) a Goods Return transaction is created in the background to Receive the Stock which has been returned. This happens automatically when the Credit Note is printed or e-mailed. Only the Inventory Items with a quantity greater than zero will be copied to the Goods Return transaction. When a Credit Note is re-activated (Status set to Active or Pending), the linked GR transaction is cleared. You can open the linked GR transaction by clicking the Links button on the Credit Note.

You can right-click an Item and select View Item Summary for detail about the Item's specification, inventory levels, pricing and transaction history.
