Returning stock to suppliers

[astrong13]

Hi how do I go about taking items out of my stock to return them to the supplier?
Example  I have 40lb of beets already in ezpower stock I now have to return them to the supplier because of spoilage, how do I do the return to supplier?

I just tested using the Purchase Order function to return stock to the supplier and didn't find any problem.  The stock was returned correctly.

And personally if I return stock to a supplier I will use Inventory Adjust and "Shortage".  This way I can easily track later via Shortage Reports what was taken out, plus it gives me my cost on the product so I know if I shortaged 20 items at a cost of $200 that I better see a credit of $200.  I also can easily print 2  shortage reports afterwards, one for my records and one to send back as a Packing Slip to my vendor.

Not sure which way is better for you but that works great for me
