For products that are <strong>no-tracking<\/strong>, the process is simpler because Odoo does not track each unit individually. Instead, it manages the overall quantity of the product in your inventory. Vendor returns help you adjust your stock levels and maintain accurate inventory records when items are returned to the supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"809\" src=\"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-Return-No-Trackingproduct-1024x809.png\" alt=\"Odoo Vendor Return No-Tracking product\" class=\"wp-image-34903\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-Return-No-Trackingproduct-1024x809.png 1024w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-Return-No-Trackingproduct-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-Return-No-Trackingproduct-768x607.png 768w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-Return-No-Trackingproduct.png 1155w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Navigation to Vendor Return<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After configuration, open <strong>Inventory \u2192 Operations \u2192 Vendor Return<\/strong> and click <strong>New<\/strong> to create a new record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Selecting Vendor and Product Details<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose the vendor from the dropdown and select a return reason.

For no-tracking products, you specify the quantity being returned in kilograms (kg) or the unit of measure used. Once all details are entered correctly, you validate the return. Odoo update the product quantity in your warehouse immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Product Quantity is Updated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After validating a vendor return, Odoo <strong>reduces the on-hand quantity<\/strong> of the product in your warehouse. Since the product is not tracked by lots or serial numbers, Odoo only adjusts in the total available quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Viewing Updated Product Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can see the updated product details by opening the product in the Inventory module. For no-tracking products, Odoo shows the <strong>new on-hand quantity<\/strong> after the return is completed.Instead, it gives a clear view of how much stock is currently available, helping you maintain accurate inventory levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"671\" src=\"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-Return-Afterproductupdate-1024x671.png\" alt=\"Odoo Vendor Return Afterproductupdate\" class=\"wp-image-34907\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-Return-Afterproductupdate-1024x671.png 1024w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-Return-Afterproductupdate-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-Return-Afterproductupdate-768x503.png 768w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/12\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-Vendor-Return-Afterproductupdate.png 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Odoo Inventory, a vendor return is used when you need to send products back to a supplier.
