When the excisable goods are returned from the buyer who is registered under excise, the sales return is considered as a new purchase for the supplier. The supplier has to select the appropriate nature of purchase along with manufacturer/importer details, if any.
Hence, when an excise sales return stock item is resold to a new buyer, the excise sales transaction will capture the previous buyer’s name as the supplier name. It should not capture the primary supplier name.
This behaviour is enhanced from Release 5.x onwards as suggested by excise consultants as the transactions of sales and purchase returns must be a part of e-filing of dealer’s return.
