Return Material sends full, unused units back into stock and corrects the job cost. Returns are matched to the FIFO batch the material was originally pulled from. This page walks you through the process and the rules you need to follow.

​
How to return material

1

Open the job

Go to the job detail page and click Return Material.
2

Select the batch

On the Select Batches screen, tick the batch the material was originally pulled from. Batches are FIFO, so confirm the batch code matches the pull.
3

Enter the quantity

Enter the quantity being returned as full units and submit. Stock and job cost both correct themselves.
REMINDER: Return Material is for full unused units only. Partial or leftover quantities follow the process in Partial Materials and are restocked as a new item, never returned against the original pull.

​
Why batch selection matters

Matching the return to the original batch keeps your FIFO costing accurate. The system knows exactly which stock layer the material came from, so the job cost is reversed at the correct price per unit and the batch history stays clean.
