Hello! This is my first time making a post in the square community. I have a question about adjusting inventory. Basically, as a bookstore we occasionally have to send items back to the vendors we purchased them from.
Unfortunately, as far as I am aware, all of the inventory recount functions use any reduction in inventory as a loss. This can really mess with our COGS reports. Right now, the best system I've come up with is ringing up all of the returning items at cost so that it appears in square like we are selling these items back to the vendor. And since it's at cost, it balances out the COGS
Is there any other way to do this that might be a bit more intuitive or easy?
Basically, I want to find a way to remove items from inventory without increasing the COGS.. Maybe they could add an option in the inventory options that says "Returned to Vendor" or something.
