Returns process

Returns are processed by a different application depending on the location type and the item type, as shown in the table below. A non-inventory location is a Requisition requesting location that does not keep stock but receives items from an inventory location. An inventory location keeps stock and obtains stock from another inventory location or from a vendor.

Inventoried items must be returned to the same "from" (inventory) location.
