# Summary

From this screen, you can create, view and manage Supplier Returns.

A Supplier Return is a fully audited way of removing stock from the system. This will allow you to take stock in an unavailable location, and have a process that removes that stock and tracks those changes both in Supplier Returns and the Stock History report.

<p class="callout info">Supplier Returns may also be created via the [Returns](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/returns-aka-rmas "Returns") screen, or via the [Sales Order Detail](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/sales-orders/chapter/sales-orders-detail "Sales Orders (Detail)") screen</p>

These may be exported as a CSV.

<p class="callout info">Note: 'awaiting collection' Supplier Returns are those which are awaiting the stock unit to be collected by a Supplier; the 'awaiting credit' status is an additional step between 'awaiting collection' and 'completed'. While in this status, a user is only able to mark the Supplier Return as completed, or alternatively to add notes. It is intended that this be used to manage and track any Supplier Returns which are due credit notes, refunds or other forms of reimbursement from the Supplier. </p>
