How to return frames to suppliers

How to return frames to a supplier,

when frames are barcoded.

1. From Inventory Tab, Click on the Return Inventory Tile
2. Click on New
3. Select the supplier >> Account Number
4. In the field for Invoice Number, insert your Return Authorization Number (if you don’t have one, type today’s date)
5. Scan the barcode of the first frame you wish to return. It is automatically entered as a negative value and it shows the price you paid for that frame as well. (If you are not barcoding your frames, skip to the second portion of this article)
6. Continue scanning all the barcodes for all the frames you wish to return to your supplier.
7. When done, click on Save >> and print the document you just created,
8. Remove all tags from the frames (notice how easy it is to do when there is no adhesive to wipe off)
9. Place all frames in a box with the print-out and return to your supplier.

Here is the process for returning frames to a supplier,   

when frames ARE NOT barcoded.

1. From Inventory Tab, Click on the Return Inventory Tile
2. Click on New
3. Select the supplier >> Account Number
4. In the field for Invoice Number, insert your Return Authorization Number (if you don’t have one, type today’s date)
5. Type the model number of the first frame you wish to return to the supplier.
6. If you only ever purchased one of that product, then your frame will automatically be added to the document.
7. If however, you have purchased many in the past, then you will have to select the correct one from the list of options.
8. If you properly recorded the "receipt" of this frame when it was delivered to you by your supplier, then the price you paid for it will appear automatically at this stage.
9. If however, you did not follow instructions for receiving a product from a supplier, then you may have to track down the cost of that frame via some other means (your supplier's original invoice perhaps?)
10. Continue entering all the products you wish to return to your supplier.
11. When done, click on Save >> and print the document you just created,
12. Remove all tags from the frames (notice how easy it is to do when there is no adhesive to wipe off)
13. Place all frames in a box with the print-out and return to your supplier.

An alternate method for returning products to suppliers is by way of an "Inventory Adjustment". Simply put, you just remove the frame from your inventory by decreasing the quantity of each item you wish to return by 1. Having said that, we DO NOT recommend this method because while this method will in fact reduce the QUANTITY of inventory, it will not reduce the COST of that inventory. So if you are expecting a credit in exchange for your returned merchandise, then we strongly recommend one of the other options above. (Inventory Adjustments are normally reserved for adjustments resulting from loss of inventory through theft, vandalism, or other...)
