The Return Transfer is an inventory transaction that is created automatically when the transfer-receiving transaction is rejected or partially received. You can return the items rejected by the destination branch (Receiver Branch) to the source branch (Sender Branch) or part of the items.

Benefits of this transaction:

- Return the quantities of the rejected items automatically.

- When the branch rejects the transfer receiving, there are no outstanding or untraceable inventory items.

- Maintain an accurate stock level between the sender and receiver branches.

Reports:

The new transfer return transaction will affect the following reports in the console:

- Inventory Transfers Report: A transfer report that includes returned quantity and returned cost.

- Inventory History Report: Inventory history report will include the details of the returned inventory transaction and its items quantity and cost.

- Inventory Control Report: New columns have been added to the control report where it will show the cost and quantity of the returned transfer transaction per item for each location.

- Inventory Levels Report: The inventory levels report will balance the item's level based on the sent, received and returned quantities in the transactions. 

Transaction Workflow: 

Assume you have sent 10 KG of tomatoes from the warehouse to "Branch A" where you will be able to receive the full quantity, a partial quantity, or reject the entire transfer transaction. 

If the Transfer Receiving transaction was rejected, the system will create a new Return Transfer transaction automatically with the rejected items, to be returned to the sending warehouse or branch. At this point you can review the transaction to submit it or decline it as well to reflect the inventory items accurately.

Transfer Return statuses:

1. Pending 
2. Closed
3. Declined

In the inventory transfers list, you can filter by the new transaction type transfer return.

The transfer return will show you the source and destination branch and the transfer receiving transaction as a reference.

A reason must be entered if you decline a transfer return transaction.
