How to Record Purchase Returns

The operating problem

What needs to become clearer

A normal record purchase returns example may look simple, but returns, corrections, missing documents and delayed entries expose the real weakness. How to Record Purchase Returns therefore needs an exception path as well as a normal path while creating, correcting, printing and retrieving sales documents during normal business hours.

Recommended approach

Start with the workflow, then test the software

Assign a named owner for record purchase returns, agree the cut-off time and then document the present billing path and test it from item selection through payment and day closing. A complete result includes sample invoices, correction cases, payment records and a signed day-end check, not only a saved screen.

   Have a reviewer verify sample invoices, correction cases, payment records and a signed day-end check

   Document ownership, corrections and escalation
