Sales Return
Sales returns, or returns inwards, are a normal part of business. Goods may be returned to supplier if they carry defects or if they are not according to the specifications of the buyer.
Accounting for Sales Returns
There is need to account for sale returns as though no sale had occurred in the first place.
Hence, the value of goods returned must be deducted from the sale revenue.
If sale was initially made on credit, the receivable recognized must be reversed by the amount of sales returned. If the sales in respect of the returns were made for cash, then a payable must be recognized to acknowledge the liability to reimburse the customer the amount he had paid for those purchases.

A Purchase Return Order is the reverse of a Purchase Order. You can post a shipment from it (sending things back to the vendor) which reduces inventory. You can post a credit memo from it (to reverse the accounts payable), which affects G/L. If you post a Purchase Credit Memo directly, and you post it, I believe it automatically posts a shipment to take care of inventory.
A Sales Return Order is the reverse of a Sales Order. You can post a receipt from it (reveicing things that the customer sends back into inventory) which increases inventory (depending on how you have this set up of course). You can post a Sales Credit Memo from it, which reduces the Accounts Receivable. You can also create a Sales Credit Memo directly, and when you post that I believe it will automatically post a receipt to take care of inventory.
