What this screen is for
This screen records goods returned to suppliers. Three figures head it: the total number of returns matching your search, how many are still in draft, and the total value. The list shows each return's number, the purchase order it relates to, the supplier, the return date, the amount and the status. You can search by return number or supplier, filter by status and clear both in one action.
The summary figures describe the whole search rather than only the page shown, and deliberately ignore the status filter.
When to use it
Raise a return when goods are rejected on inspection or sent back later, so the value leaves your stock and the supplier's account reflects the credit due.
What you see on this screen
Three cards head the page: Total, Draft and Value.
The table carries:
- Return # — the return number, a link to the return.
- PO # — the purchase order the goods came in on, or a dash.
- Vendor — the supplier the goods are going back to.
- Return Date — when they were sent back.
- Amount — the value of the return, in your company's currency.
- Status — where the return has reached.
- Actions — view, edit and delete.
The empty state distinguishes two cases: nothing recorded yet, and nothing matching the current search or status.
Filters and actions
- Search — by return number or supplier, with a clear cross inside the box.
- The status selector beside it — All statuses, or one of the values the model defines.
- Clear all — drops the search and the status together.
- New Return — raises one.
- Delete — asks for confirmation, repeating the return number and amount.
Status values
- Draft — being prepared.
- Submitted — sent for a decision.
- Approved — agreed.
- Completed — the goods have gone back and the return is closed.
- Cancelled — withdrawn.
