Sales returns or returns inward are a normal part of business. Goods may be returned to the supplier if they carry defect or if they are not according to the specifications of buyers.
There is a need to account for sales return as though no sales had occurred in the first place
Hence value of goods returned must be reduced from the sale Revenues
