The Vendor Return feature helps you send products back to your supplier when there are issues such as damage, wrong items, or excess quantity. Here\u2019s a clear and easy guide on how to create a vendor return and mark it as<br><strong>\u201cTo Do\u201d<\/strong> in Odoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opening the Vendor Return Menu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin, go to <strong>Inventory \u2192 Operations \u2192 Vendor Return<\/strong>. This section lists all vendor return records created in the system. To make a new one, click the <strong>New<\/strong> button. This opens a fresh vendor return form where you can enter the necessary details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Entering Vendor and Basic Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by choosing the <strong>vendor<\/strong> from the dropdown list. Then select the <strong>reason for return<\/strong> using the available return reasons. After entering these details, save the form so the system can generate a<br><strong>Transfer ID<\/strong>, which helps you track the return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adding Product Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you need to pick the product you want to return. Click <strong>Add a line<\/strong>, and a dropdown will appear where you can choose a product. You can also select it by its product code to make the process faster. Then choose the <strong>GR Bill<\/strong> from the Bill field and enter the quantity you want to return in the <strong>Demand<\/strong> field. This ensures the system knows exactly what item and how much of it you are returning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-return-draft-1024x529.png\" alt=\"Odoo-Vendor return-draft\" class=\"wp-image-34587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-return-draft-1024x529.png 1024w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-return-draft-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-return-draft-768x397.png 768w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-return-draft.png 1180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marking the Return as \u201cTo Do\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all the details look correct, click <strong>Mark as To Do<\/strong>.
