03 Sale or return Contact supplier for applicable returns authorization process. The retailer is invoiced immediately for the goods and pays within the specified credit period, but can return excess unsold inventory to the supplier for full credit at a later date (some kind of returns authorisation process is normally required, and returns of stripped covers or proof of destruction may be allowed instead).
