Returning Consigned Inventory to Vendors

To return consigned items to vendors, you can only use a vendor return authorization that has been generated from a purchase order. For purchase orders that you have fully or partially received, you can click the Authorize Return button. On a generated return authorization, the Consigned box is automatically checked for consigned item lines. Precalculated consigned item quantities that you can return don't include any consumed or sold quantities. On associated purchase order lines, you can review the Consignment Consumed column for any sold consigned items.

Note:

You can return to your vendors any previously sold consigned items, which have already gone through a transfer of ownership. After you receive them from customers, you can add them to existing vendor returns or standalone vendor returns. Additionally, you can add these items to a standalone vendor credit or generate one.

After you fulfill vendor consigned items on a return, they are automatically credited. You can't generate vendor credits for consigned items on return authorizations. If a return has non-consigned items, only these items are included on generated bill credits.
