Good to know

• Send return removes the stock from inventory and records it in each item's history. Until then it's a draft — Remove a line or click Cancel return to drop it.
• Unit cost fills in by itself; type one only if the credit differs.
• Returned-inventory report (top right) lists everything that has gone back, with vendor, reason and cost.
• Vendor Returns only appears in the menu once it's turned on for your store — ask your FoolProof rep.
