Return/Debit Note in Purchase Invoice Error

Hi,

When I’m trying to make a return/debit note in purchase invoice, it is throwing me the below error:

Invalid Return Against Purchase Invoice: PINV-00513

In Purchase receipt, return is working fine which actually takes care of stock. But, return has to be made in Sales Invoice as well which affects accounting.

Can you check for details error log in the browser’s console please? Is this issue occurring in all the Purchase Invoices? If not tried, please check once.

This is for all the Purchase Invoices. Below is the error log that I’m getting in the browser’s console.

Hi Team,

Can you please tell what could be the issue. This is important for us as we are not able to do partial returns

Hi @umair , Can you please help on this?

Not sure why this is happening… But while making ‘Return in Purchase Invoice’ it is going into ‘if’ block where customer is taken. In this case, as customer is None, it is breaking and throwing an error. Actually, if and elif conditions are becoming true here.

I added and doc.customer & and doc.supplier as shown below(Line-6 & Line-8 in below code) in erpnext/controllers/sales_and_purchase_return.py (in validate_return_against() function)

def validate_return_against(doc):
	if not doc.return_against:
		frappe.throw(_("{0} is mandatory for Return").format(doc.meta.get_label("return_against")))
	else:
		filters = {"doctype": doc.doctype, "docstatus": 1, "company": doc.company}
		if doc.meta.get_field("customer") and doc.customer:
			filters["customer"] = doc.customer
		elif doc.meta.get_field("supplier") and doc.supplier:
			filters["supplier"] = doc.supplier
		if not frappe.db.exists(filters):
				frappe.throw(_("Invalid {0}: {1}")

This solved my problem.
