You’ll notice that the Vendor Returns feature now looks completely different from the original and closely resembles the mobile database transformation made to Transfers . These major style updates are aimed at providing a much cleaner and improved user experience? so get ready for more updates! Spoiler alert – next up are Purchase Orders !
The updated Vendor Returns feature has been designed to look like a paper document and help you understand the direction and/or status of your return? meaning it looks like a delivery note. Vendor information is now visible in the remove mandatory sign-ups vendor detail sheet and can be easily edited with the appropriate employee’s permission. We’ve also introduced a Created By stamp so you’ll instantly know who initiated the return process.
We’ve focused on the item list to make it easier for you to manage inventory and return quantities. Search or scan an item? add a reason for your return? or reference the purchase order the item came from without scrolling.
We’ve also introduced a new feature that allows you to remove items from a bulk return.
Speed up the return process A new look by selecting or deselecting all the items you want to remove from your return to suppliers.
A big change coming in this update is the removal of the automatic addition of unavailable products to a return. This means you can’t return aero leads more stock than you actually have.
Once closed and archived? editable fields are grayed out to prevent data from being changed. However? users with the appropriate access can unarchive them to make the necessary changes.
As we’ve continued to focus on the item list? we’ve condensed the actions into
the More Actions button at the top of Vendor Returns. There? you can archive or print the packing slip for your return? or? reopen it.
These enhancements to our Vendor Returns feature will help you better manage your supplier relationships? control costs and quality? and reduce errors. The ability to track negative inventory will also be a lifesaver when your annual inventory runs out.
