How Supplier Replacement Claims Should Work
The blueprint for complete supplier recovery, cost-variance matching, and balance sheet integrity.
The Gap in Traditional POS Systems
In standard retail software, when you send a defective device back to a supplier, the software marks it as "Deleted." But what happens next? Did the supplier actually deliver a replacement? Did they issue a credit note? What happens if they reject the claim?
A real ERP system does not delete items. It transitions them through explicit **logical warehouse stages** backed by a **state machine** and **general ledger double-entries**, securing your supplier recovery pipeline from silent slippage.
