Return To Stock

Return to stock determines if the inventory is added back to the system when a return is processed.

For example, the instock for item PNT01 is 10. Cashier sells 3 of PNT01.

  2. If "Return to Stock" is enabled and the cashier processes the return of the sale, instock will be 10 after the return. The quantity of the return is added to the inventory.
Void

Void denotes that the reason is disabled on the system.
