Steve,
Thank you for your response and examples of return vs. voiding a receipt. This was very helpful. At this point in time, we are not creating credit invoices in Maximo. This is because of interface issues with our financial system and our business process for credits. We are working to resolve these issues and intend to eventually be able to use credit invoices in Maximo.
I did notice in testing that if I take away the security option "Select Items for Return" the user receives the
BMXAA0029 error when voiding a receipt. I may need to hide the button instead.------------------------------

Hi Sean,
I think the answer to this is to understand the use case for each of these functions:
- A return is when the goods have been received BUT then returned to the supplier
- In this case you will usually receive an Invoice for the originally received Qty and then a subsequent Credit Invoice for the returned items
- A Void Receipt is when the original receipt transaction was entered with incorrect data
- In this case you need to void this and then enter the correct receipt details
- Also as a note when the receipt is voided you need to save the record before you will see the ordered items in the list again when selecting the ordered items to re-enter the new receipt
I hope this all makes sense
Regards
Steve

We have run into an issue where PO receipts are entered and saved. Then a return transaction is created and saved for the same amount because the original quantity received was incorrect. They then create a new receipt for the correct amount. The problem is we are then able to create and approve an invoice for the 10 that were returned.
Example
PO Receipt transaction for quantity 10 created. Incorrect quantity.
PO Return transaction for quantity 10 created to correct incorrect receipt.
PO Receipt transaction for quantity 2 created.
Invoice created and approved for quantity 10.
If we void the receipt, we cannot create the approved receipt. I understand a return receipt can be used on a credit invoice but should it be allowed for a non-credit invoice?
I would like to better understand or hear about scenarios where a Return is used and when to use Void Receipt
Appreciate any responses.
