Inventory: Return Finished Product Back to Inventory (Read Time: 3 mins)

When customers return product that can be resold, DISTILL x 5 users have a few options.

1. Bring the product back into the DSP as tax-paid inventory. This is the simplest solution -- you've already paid excise, and can sell the product again without having to file additional tax paperwork. To bring in tax-paid inventory to be resold:
   • Keep the product outside of Dx5: You can bring the product into a tax-paid zone in the DSP without adding it to Dx5 inventory. This allows you to freely move the product as needed.
   • Add the product to your Dx5 inventory as a Tax-Paid version of the existing Finished Product.
     • Note: If this is a new tax-paid item, please complete the steps in this article first
     • Navigate to Inventory / Overview 
     • Find the finished product to which inventory should be added, and click the blue arrow on the right side of the listing
     • Click the button to Adjust Quantity
     • Choose Addition as the adjustment type, and Tax-Paid as the tax status.
2. Bring the product back into the DSP as bonded product and apply for a refund of Excise Tax.
   • Navigate to Inventory / Overview 
   • Find the finished product to which inventory should be added, and click the blue arrow on the right side of the listing
   • Click the button to Adjust Quantity
   • Choose Addition as the adjustment type, and Bonded as the tax status
   • File for a Federal Excise Tax Credit to avoid paying twice for this spirit -- complete and submit the form mentioned here.

If the returned product needs to be processed further, please follow option #2, above, then follow the instructions in this article.
