Effect of Purchase Return on Accounts and Stock in Odoo
Purchase return is the process of returning a product after purchasing it from the vendor. The product is returned for several reasons such as damages in the product, on account of less space in the warehouse and so forth.
This returning of products, however, affects the accounts and stock in a specific manner.
In this blog, am explaining how does the purchase return affects the accounts and stock.
Odoo handles the return of products in an easy manner. Return of products affects the accounts based on the mode of accounting i.e.Continental and Anglo-Saxon.
Effect of Purchase Return on Accounts (in Anglo-Saxon)
First of all, CREATE and CONFIRM a purchase order.
In this order, we purchased 10 products.

Then validate the delivery.

Upon validating delivery, the stock in hand will be changed(here the stock becomes 10 units). Initially, the stock in hand was 0, now it has changed to 10 units.
Upon validating the delivery, 2 journal entries will be created.
We can see the entries under the accounting module via going to Accounting -> Journal entries.

Stock Input Account (Goods received not purchased) is credited and Stock Valuation Account(Inventories) is debited. These two amounts are based on the cost of a unit product.

Upon validating the bill, two more entries will be created, ie account payable (Creditors) is credited and Stock Input Account (Goods received not purchased) is debited.

After registering the payment, the journal entries will be like below:

account payable(Creditors) is debited and the bank account is credited.
