Sale Or Return

Sale or Return is for stock provided to customers where you will take back and credit any stock they do not sell if returned before expiry

Commonly used to reduce the risk to the retailer of trying new products

The customer has to have purchased the Sale or Return Items (there must be a sales order in the system)

The Customer has to return items not sold to receive the credit

Sale or Return is limited by Stock Article

Sales Reps enter a Return and create a Credit immediately

 Supplier Claims of Sale or Return items

When a supplier will cover the cost of sale or return items - eg new product introductions, short expiry products etc, the Supplier will require a Supplier GL Claim Account to track the claims until they are approved.  This is normally a Current Asset Account as the claim is considered an asset until it is paid or cancelled.

The Credit Note created will be listed in the supplier claims if the supplier has a claim account.
