Creating Goods Return Note – An overview
This page allows you to create a Goods Return to the Supplier (GRS) note. The system retrieves the goods receipts that are in “Moved”, “Partially moved”, “Inspected” or “Rejected” status for modification. The goods, which have been rejected during inspection, can be returned to the supplier. The supplier may replace the parts that have been rejected. A GRS is raised for a supplier on accumulation of a sizeable quantity of rejected parts. A single GRS can be raised for multiple goods receipt notes. The quantity of the returned parts must match the quantity of the rejected parts after inspection. The status of the newly created GRS is updated as “Fresh”. The system generates a unique number for the GRS on clicking the “Create Goods Return” or “Confirm Goods Return” pushbutton, and updates the login user ID and the server date along with the other details. This page also allows you to confirm a GRS and updates the status as “Returned”. You can confirm a GRS under the following conditions:
a) If the GRS is in “Fresh” status
b) If the details entered are directly confirmed.
