Users can return parts that have been issued to a work order back to a warehouse. Users can do this on a work order, on the Parts tab, and on the Issues/Returns tab by clicking the Return button. Clicking this button opens the Issue/Return page with the return flag already selected.
When returning a part, the following things happen:
- The warehouse that issued the parts is updated with the parts returned.
- The parts 'Quantity Issued' value on the project or work order is decreased by the returned quantity.
- There is a GL entry that reflects moving the returned quantity back to the warehouse.
The GL entry is affected by the work order type using WIP or not:
- If not using WIP, the GL entry credits COGS (determined in the Work Order Type selected for the work order) and debits the GL of the warehouse selected on the return.
- If using WIP, the GL entry credits WIP (determined in the Job Type selected for the project or work order) and debits the warehouse's GL.
Determining the amount, the GL entry uses the value specified for the part on the return. The total amount used in the entry is the quantity returned multiplied by the cost value for the parts:
- If not using WIP, the total amount of parts that were returned is used.
- If using WIP, the total amount of parts that were returned is used.
