Material Return option on Production Orders

In Acumatica, creating material returns against production orders requires users to manually select each material line, making the process time-consuming and prone to errors. Unlike the Material Issue screen, there is currently no functionality to automatically prefill relevant data when reversing issued materials. 


Is there any plan to introduce auto-prefill capabilities for material returns in future Acumatica releases to streamline this workflow and improve efficiency?

@BShacywar There isn't a standard process for this, but you can manually copy an existing Material Transaction and use it to create a new Material record. Remove any unnecessary lines, keeping only the items and quantities you want to return from production. Be sure to enter the quantities as negative values to reflect the return and release transaction.
