Expert Solution
Step 1

Step 1:

When a customer sends back goods after sales are made, it is known as Sales Return. The reasons to return goods could be defective goods or Excess quantity received or incorrect product specification or inferior quality.

Sales return is a contra account. Sales return transaction is recorded by debiting the Sales Return account and crediting the Accounts Receivable account. The sales Return value is deducted from the Total Sales/Gross Sales value.
