Inventory levels will be updated throughout the process of using Supplier Returns. Inventory movements are triggered once a Supplier Return moves into the "In Progress" state by starting the Supplier Return.
Inventory movements depend on the Return From location selected, and if applying a Credit Note or cancelling the Return Item.
These movements can be reported using the Inventory Movement log.

Return Items have been Credited
When a Return Item has been credited, inventory movements will occur depending on the "Return From" selection:
- Available or Faulty - crediting the stock will remove the stock from inventory
- None - the stock will be removed from the inventory and re-added (refer to the Inventory Revaluation section below for more detail on this process)
