Customers & Sales
Customer Return
The Customer Return creates a credit memo or return transaction. It reverses a previous sale — returning items to inventory and crediting the customer's accounts receivable balance. A return can be created directly, or from an existing Invoice using the "Create Return" button on the Invoice screen, which pre-populates all line items, prices, discounts, and e-invoice data from the original invoice. Returns support government e-invoicing (credit note) certification. Access from Sales › Customer Return or from the Return List.
