  7. Scan the items and click Create return document (for a supplier return: Create supplier return document). If there is more than one reporting target, choose Which document should we create? (for example Create return note or Just finish). A Customer signature or Supplier signature dialog opens – sign on screen and click Confirm, or Skip. The document moves to Confirmed.

The rest of the flow on the counting page is described in Returns & documents.

Picking up an open document on the phone

An Open document that was closed halfway is not lost. Click its number in the table, or open Edit and click Open in counter – the counting page opens with the items already scanned.

Editing a document

Edit opens Edit return document. The type is locked; you can change the customer or supplier, the store, Notes and Original order ID. On a signed document the Signature is shown too. Click Save.

Deleting a document

Delete asks for confirmation (Delete return document) and removes the document permanently.

The signature on the document

The signature is stored on the document itself together with the signing time, and is shown in the edit dialog. It is optional – Skip closes the document without one, and a signature cannot be added after closing.
