At a glance

Accessing this module

From the admin sidebar, navigate to Purchase Returns, or open the URL directly:

/admin/warehouse/manage_order_return_delivery

List view

The list view shows existing purchase returns records. Use it to search, filter, sort, and bulk-act on items.

Common actions

View existing records — open Purchase Returns from the sidebar to see the list view.
Search and filter — use the search box and column filters to find records.
Create a new record — click the Add / New button (or follow the "Create" URL above) and fill in the required fields.
Edit a record — click a row to open the detail view, then use the edit action.
Delete a record — use the row's delete action; deletion may be soft or hard depending on the module.
Bulk operations — select multiple rows via the checkboxes and apply a bulk action from the toolbar (export, delete, status change, etc., where supported).

Warning

A Purchase Return decrements stock and creates a debit note against the vendor. Confirm the return only after the goods are physically packed and ready to ship — once confirmed, inventory is reduced regardless of whether the physical shipment has left.

Tip

Document the reason on the Purchase Return (defective batch, over-shipment, wrong items) — this reason is recorded in Warehouse History and is the factual basis for the vendor claim or debit note negotiation.
