Nominal Ledger Transactions from Returned Goods to Supplier Records

After entering a Returned Goods to Supplier record and checking that it is correct, you should mark it as OK and save it. A Nominal Ledger Transaction will be generated automatically if you have so determined in the Sub Systems setting in the Nominal Ledger and in the Number Series - Returned Goods to Supplier setting.

The Stock Account(s) credited in this Nominal Ledger Transaction will be will be taken from the Cost A/C field on flip B of each row in the Returned Goods to Supplier record. When you create a Returned Goods to Supplier from a Goods Receipt, the rows in the Goods Receipt will be copied to the Return. As part of that process, the Stock A/C in each Goods Receipt row will be copied to the Cost A/C field in the relevant row in the Return. When you create a Returned Goods to Supplier from a Purchase Order, the Items in the Purchase Order that you have received will be copied to the Return. Again, the Stock A/Cs in the relevant Goods Receipt rows will be copied to the Cost A/C field in the equivalent rows in the Return.

The Returned Goods to Supplier or Purchase Accruals Account(s) debited in this Transaction will be taken from the Purch A/C field on flip B of each row in the Returned Goods to Supplier record. If you have specified a Ret. Goods to Suppliers Account in the Account Usage Stock setting and if you have not selected the Ret. Goods to Supplier A/C from Goods Receipt option in the same setting, this is the Account that will be debited. If you have not specified a Ret. Goods to Suppliers Account or if you have selected the Ret. Goods to Supplier A/C from Goods Receipt option, the Purch A/C (Purchase Accruals Account) in each Goods Receipt row will be copied to the Purch A/C field in the equivalent rows in the Return, in a similar manner to that described for the Cost A/C above.

Tags/Objects representing the Supplier will be shown on the 'Terms' card in the Returned Goods to Supplier record. They will be assigned to the debit postings to the Purchase Accruals or Returned Goods to Supplier Account(s) and, if you are using the Supplier Tag/Object on Stock A/C option in the Account Usage P/L setting, to the credit postings to the Stock Account(s). However, if you are using the Skip Header A/C Objects on Cost A/C option in the same setting, these Tags/Objects will not be assigned to either posting in the Transaction. The Tags/Objects on flip B of the 'Items' card representing the Items will always be assigned to both postings.

Below is shown an example of a Nominal Ledger Transaction created from a Returned Goods to Supplier record:

If you are using the Negative Amounts option in the Transaction Settings setting in the Nominal Ledger, the Transaction will be slightly different, with negative amounts being credited to the Returned Goods to Supplier or Purchase Accruals Account(s) and debited to the Stock Account(s).

Once the Transaction has been generated, you can look at it straight away using the 'Open NL Transaction' function on the Operations menu (Windows/macOS) or Tools menu (iOS/Android) (subject to access rights set in the Access Groups setting in the System module).
