If items are returned then do a Return of Goods. When a credit comes in go into Receipt of Invoice and enter as negative amounts. This will clean out Purchases Clearing and Qty Invoiced will equal Qty Received allowing the purchase order to close if you change the quantity ordered to the quantity received.

When a purchase order is closed, the invoice gets paid, but say 6 months down the line we do a return of goods, will the PO re-open?

Yes

Yes, if not purged from the open PO tables...

I'm not sure what would happen if the PO only existed in PO history (or not at all).

Thanks as always
