Sell returns
Keep customer returns connected to the original sale.
eCommerce returns management
Returns should be a workflow, not an operational blind spot.
Connect sell returns, purchase returns, stock adjustments, customer/supplier history and payment impact instead of treating returns as a separate spreadsheet.

OPERATIONAL EXCEPTION
Return requires stock decision
Keep the order, shipment, contact, stock and payment context connected while the exception is resolved.
AI-ready evidence trailTHE OPERATIONAL PROBLEM
What breaks when the operation starts scaling?
When returns are handled through messages and spreadsheets, stock is delayed, refunds are harder to track and the real cost disappears.
INSIDE SHOPIERP
Not a feature list. Parts of the same operating context.
Purchase returns
Record product movement back to suppliers.
Stock update
Use the correct return / adjustment path to update inventory.
Contact history
Keep customer or supplier return activity attached to the contact.
Payment context
Returns may affect balances, payments or refunds.
Reporting
Use stock, sales and purchase reporting to understand the operational effect.
HOW THE WORKFLOW CONNECTS
From record to transaction to movement to management answer.
The value is not each module in isolation. It is the same product, contact and transaction context surviving every step.
Identify the original transaction
Start from the sale or purchase that created the stock movement.
Record the return
Create the correct sell-return or purchase-return event.
Update stock / payment context
Reflect the physical and financial result.
Analyse the pattern
Use product, stock and contact history to spot recurring issues.
01 • DEEPER DETAIL
Customer and supplier returns are different workflows
A customer return reverses part of a sale; a supplier return reverses part of a purchase. Both should preserve the original transaction context.

03 • DEEPER DETAIL
High-return patterns should become management signals
When returns can be related back to products, customers and sales history, teams can investigate the underlying reason instead of only processing refunds.
