This module extends the functionality of purchase orders to better manage supplier returns and refunds.
In the purchase order you are able to display, for each line:
- Billed Quantity and Refunded Quantity, as separate fields.
- Received Quantity and Returned Refundable Quantity, as separate fields.
You have the option to create a vendor bill or a refund. In the bill or refund the correct quantity will be proposed, based on those fields.
