Returns

RMA (Return Material Authorization) is used to return items either from a customer equipment list to your stock OR from your stock to the vendor. If parts need to move from customer to vendor, this requires two RMA transactions, one from customer to stock and another one from stock to vendor. SME does not always handle the accounting side of RMA's so you need to manage the credits to customer or from vendors.

Return Material from Customer Site back to Inventory

You can generate a return for bringing customer equipment that has been invoiced back into inventory. You can start a return from the Customer Equipment Module, directly in the return module, or by entering the invoice number the material was on.
