Returning products to the supplier

6 min read·Updated 12/05/2026

Do you want to return products to the supplier and reduce stock? For example, if you have booked the products on consignment.

Create a new purchase order and, when receiving and ordering, enter the quantity you are returning with a minus sign in front of it.

1. In the menu, click Purchase Orders

2. Click New

3. Enter the supplier name

4. Add the first product you want to return from stock (search for it via the search bar and click on this product).

5. The product page appears. In the middle column, under Received and Ordered, enter the quantity you want to return. For example, -1.

6. In the right-hand column, enter the purchase price. For example, the average purchase price shown above it.

7. Click the Save button.

8. In this way, add all the products you want to return.

9. At the top of the purchase order, click the Book -> Increase Stock button to adjust the stock.

Instead of creating a new purchase order, you can also (partially) reverse an existing purchase order by clicking the Refund button at the top of the relevant purchase order.
