What does pending return to vendor mean?

Question

What does the product status Pending Return to Vendor mean?

Answer

Pending Return to Vendor means that you have an open (unposted) supplier invoice with a negative quantity of the product. This negative quantity is flagged as Pending Return to Vendor until the invoice is posted.

Often a store will create a supplier invoice with a negative product quantity when a product is being returned to the supplier. However, the store will not post the invoice until the credit actually appears on a subsequent supplier invoice.

Use the Supplier Invoice Filter to locate the supplier invoice in question. You can look through unposted invoices only by selecting NO under the Posted option.
