Notes About Returns:

  • GrowFlow tracks the value of returned items via Dashboard > Returns.

  • Totals for items marked as returns reduce your gross sales for monthly tax reporting. See the Dashboard > Taxes report.

  • As a reference for estimating the prices for any returns from a retailer, you can use the Dashboard > Sales By Product report.

    • The Sales by Product report shows the average price for each product sold for the selected products, vendor, and date range.

  • Cash credits are outside of state traceability, but credits can be given on future orders when the sender of returns does not collect cash at the time of the return.

  • On an Order's invoice, "Return Value" is the name of the field where you enter the amount of the cash credit.
