This document outlines the procedure for completing an RTV (return to vendor). An RTV is used when we are shipping product back to a vendor. We need to complete this procedure in order to remove the product from our inventory.
Getting Started
To create a new Return, follow these steps:
1. In the top navigation menu, hover over the Purchasing link.
2. This will bring down a secondary menu, click the Returns link.
3. This will bring you to the Returns page.
Creating a New Return
1. Click the “New” button.
This will bring you to the New Return page.
2. Click the “Set” link under “Vendor”
A window will appear with a list of all vendors. Search in the search field box, or through the pages to find the vendor of the item you are returning.
3. Click the “Name” of the vendor to assign them to the return.
4. Click the “Set” link under the “Return From Location”
