  • Use the product detail tab when the owner asks which items were returned.
  • Compare return purchases with supplier statements.
  • Check stock logs when a returned item quantity should have moved down.

  • If input tax is used, compare Purchase reports with Tax Payable or Tax Summary.
  • Keep invoice proof attached to the purchase when the shop needs audit evidence.

Reports Purchase Register The Purchase report is the operational goods-in register. It answers which completed purchases entered a branch, which supplier supplied them, which item quantities were retained and what those lines cost. Purchase Suppliers and Purchases Purchases bring stock into the shop. Supplier, item, quantity, cost, tax and invoice proof must be controlled before stock is trusted. Reports Tax and GST Reports Tax reports are accounting evidence. They depend on tax settings, item tax setup, purchase input credit decisions and the exact date range used. Inventory Inventory Logs Inventory Logs are the branch stock ledger. Each row opens a movement detail beside the list, where operators can inspect the reference and follow controlled links to the item, sale or purchase. Reports Export, Print and Email Report exports should preserve the same range and branch the operator reviewed on screen.
