Return stock to a supplier (expired / damaged)

On this page

When to use this: sending near-expiry or damaged stock back to your distributor, usually as part of the monthly expiry clear-out (→ INV-03). The Supplier Returns tab needs an internet connection.

Steps

  1. Start a return. Go to Inventory → Supplier Returns → New Supplier Return. BitMed already gathers your near-expiry batches for you (there's a days limit, set to 90 by default), so you don't have to go hunting for them.

  2. Pick the supplier and the batches. Choose the Supplier, tick the batches and quantities you're sending back, add a note if you need to, and tap Create Return.

  3. Follow it through. The return moves along the list as Accepted or Reject (if you reject it, BitMed asks for a reason), and finally Credit Received once the supplier gives you the money back.

Good to know

  • This is the return you start from your shelf (near-expiry or damage). If you're sending back goods you just received against an invoice, that's a purchase return instead (→ PUR-05).
