Doing POS returns, exchanges and refunds

How you process a return, refund or exchange depends on whether the customer has an invoice.

To process a return or exchange with an invoice

2. Scan the customer's invoice to display it, enter the invoice ID, or search for the invoice. To display all of the day's invoices, click the click the All icon (circle with three lines). To display invoices from earlier dates, type i- in the Search field and click the All icon.
3. If you searched for the invoice, highlight it in the list and click Return.
4. Highlight and delete any items that you're not processing a return or exchange for.
5. Process the return or exchange:
   • To issue a store credit adjust the quantity using negative quantities, leaving the prices as they are. Save the invoice but do not apply any payments. This gives a credit to the customer’s account
   • To issue a refund, click the payment method button that you're using to reimburse the customer. Enter a negative value for the dollar amount and click Save. This records that you've given the customer money.
   • To do a exchange, scan the new item, scan the item that's being exchanged and set a negative quantity for the item being returned. Click check out and process the payment.

You can also click the list in the right corner of the search field to display a list of today’s invoices. Historical Invoices can be inspected by exiting to the Browser mode.
