There are two types of return transactions in InventoryEdge, Supplier Returns and Inventory Returns. In a supplier return, you are removing the inventory items from your on-hand quantity and returning the items to the supplier you purchased them from. An inventory return is when items that were previously issued out for use are returned back to your stock, adding that amount back to your on-hand quantity. Required fields are indicated by a red check box
