A Purchase Return (PRT) is used to record goods returned to a vendor after a Purchase Bill has been created. It updates your inventory by recording the returned items and creates a vendor credit (Credit Note) that can be applied to the related Purchase Bill, reducing the outstanding Accounts Payable (A/P) balance.
Use a Purchase Return when:
- Purchased goods need to be returned to the vendor.
- Incorrect items are received from the vendor.
- Damaged goods are received.
- Excess quantities need to be returned.
- A Purchase Bill requires adjustment.

- Enter the return quantity.

Apply the Purchase Return to the Purchase Bill.
