So if an item is incorrectly received on a PO and I un-receive it by receiving a negative quantity it doesn't appear in the receiving as zero. It still appears as if it has been received. Not sure if this can be tweaked.
Thanks

If you receive an item off of a purchase order and want it to be reflected as "returned to vendor" you have a number of options.

1. negative receive the particular item on the purchase order. This might be used when you made a receiving mistake.

2. add the item to the purchase order with a negative quantity as a new line and then receive this negative item. This might be done when you want to track that the item was received and you were returning it for some reason (like damage).

3. create a new PO with some identifier like RTV- in front of the PO to identify it as a return to vendor and put the item(s) on with negative quantities that are going back to the vendor. This can make it easier to track returns to vendor and also with some integrations to open to buy systems like Management One are necessary to track this properly in their program.

Remember in all cases you need to receive and update the negative quantities to make sure that the adjustments to inventory, the receiving history and the purchase order.

Negative adjustments with purchase orders can also be used for other reasons like losses and shrinkage. In this case it is better to create a new Purchase Order and have the purchase order setup with your store as the vendor. This will make sure that the receiving history for the vendor accurately reflects that the receiving from them occurred but that you incurred the loss.

So if an item is incorrectly received on a PO and I un-receive it by receiving a negative quantity it doesn't appear in the receiving as zero. It still appears as if it has been received. Not sure if this can be tweaked.
