I have created multiple invoices for an item in an order. How do I handle the product returns in this case?

Assume that you have shipped 10 pieces of cloth for which you split the billing into INV-01 (three pieces), INV-02 (three pieces) and INV-03 (four pieces). Upon receiving the package, your customer changes their mind and initiates a return for a total of five pieces - two pieces from INV-01, 1 piece from INV-02 and 2 pieces from INV-03. To handle this in Zoho ERP:

Step 1: Create a sales return

  • Navigate to Sales on the left sidebar.
  • Select Sales Orders from the top module bar.
  • Open the partially or completely fulfilled sales order for which you want to create a sales return.
  • Click Create and select Sales Return.
  • Enter the sales return details and click Save.

Step 2: Create receives for the items in the sales return

  • Open the required sales return.
  • Click Receive.
  • Enter the items and quantities to be received.
  • Click Receive.

Step 3: Create a credit note for the sales return

  • Navigate to Sales on the left sidebar.
  • Select Sales Returns under Invoices from the top module bar.
  • Open the sales return and click Create Credit Note.
  • Fill in the required details.
  • Click Save.

Step 4: Record a refund

  • Open the credit note.
  • Click on More and select Refund.
  • Enter the refund amount and select the expense account.
  • Click Save.
