Return Unused Materials To Warehouse

Sometimes, the material issued to shopfloor may not have been fully consumed, for various reasons, including a sudden decision to cut back on volumes. The production team should return the excess materials to the shopfloor and adjust the cost of production of the Production Run before closing it.

!While you can still return unused material to the warehouse even after a Run is closed, it will not get any credit for the value of the materials returned. The cost of production will not be adjusted. Always confirm that all excess material has been returned and accounted for in CREST ERP before closing the run.

This will open the materials list. Enter the quantities to be returned against individual item. Click Select All if excess quantity is to be returned for all items. Otherwise, click the checkbox against the items being returned to stock. Click Submit to complete the return process.

The following GL transaction is created and posted automatically, to adjust the Work-in-progress value
