Overview
A return-from-customer document is used when a buyer returns previously purchased goods — due to defects, dissatisfaction, or agreement. After conducting, items are added back to the warehouse and the customer's debt is reduced accordingly.

FAQ
Does the return price have to match the selling price?
Typically, yes. The return should be at the same price as the original sale to correctly adjust mutual settlements.
Can I accept a partial return?
Yes. You can accept any quantity — it does not have to match the full original sale.
How does this affect the customer balance?
After conducting, the customer's debt decreases by the return amount.
