Stock Return
A return is an inbound order to your warehouse that involves the addition of incoming goods into inventory through a stock return. When you perform a return, you are returning items into inventory that have previously been issued to a customer. IntelliTrack Mobile accommodates stock returns at the Return form.
Stock is returned from a customer. A stock return requires an Order Number and a Customer as well as an item that is being returned. A customer return may be referenced to a previous stock issue for a customer.
Important: In order to perform a Stock Return in IntelliTrack Mobile, the logged-in user must have edit access to the Return feature
Order Preference Settings
Orders Preference settings facilitate the stock return process by setting a default return quantity; see "User Preferences".
Referencing a Return to an Issue
A return may be referenced (optional) to a previous issue order for the selected customer. When the Return Order is referenced to an Issue Order, an item may not be processed as part of the Return Order if it is not part of the referenced Issue Order or if it exceeds the issued quantity in the referenced issue order.
